Care to elaborate? Ruby had them from day 1, PHP has only had them since 5.3, not sure what the deal is with python.

#5I don't know how I feel about interface defaults. Why is that more important than say declared properties or unsigned types?

C# has had them for a little while now.

#7I'm curious to see what the implications are for other JVM languages given the promise of more efficient byte code.

#8Would have been a big deal - if they introduced 10 years ago

#9'sorted()' doesn't really act like that, does it - taking in a comparator function?
It's much better to have comparator functions for the most common types baked in, and use projection to select a list of fields to use to compare with.
Comparator functions are very easy to get wrong. The example given here - ".sorted((a, b) -> a.getValue() - b.getValue())" - won't work properly when the calculation wraps around.

Python has lambdas and functions as first-order values since the beginning.
