I liked Java 1.4. Generics were a mess. And Java before generics was so wonderfully simple. Yes, you had to cast, but that wasn’t a big issue. My favourite language would be Java 1.4 with carefully redesigned standard library (because old standard library was not very nice).
Isn’t that almost Go? Well, before Go generics land.
- ~Exhaustive pattern matching~ it’s here!
- Algebraic data types
- Tail call optimisation
- Do notation
- Operator overload
Why not use another language? Well, the name “Java” guarantees buy-in at this point. Maybe it will eventually be a Trojan horse for ML :)
Java sucks, and should stop being taught as the defacto language in computer science curriculums. It's extremely busy and verbose. There are better OO languages out there, if the point is to teach OO. (I'm ready for this post to get downvoted into oblivion)

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
print("Hello, world!")
To be honest, what I really need is a list of backward incompatible changes and a list of projects that can shim those incompatible changes. Just like Javascript.

Languages should be dumb. Standard libraries should be smart. Not the other way around. The number of syntax constructs that generate standard library calls when compiled should be minimized as much as possible.
Edit: one more thing, operator overloading is extremely harmful for readability.

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, world!"); } } vs print("Hello, world!") Please comment again if you still cannot see the bloat/unnecessary verbosity.
