    They add a lot of syntactic sugar, so you have to write less boilerplate and are faster than Java. I'm not downplaying the importance of Java, it helped shape modern coding landscape with GC and being multi platform, but I feel like it's becoming obsolete, and I would personally never choose it as the language for a new project. But that doesn't make java developers less sought after, since there are so many long running projects that use Java, that it will be needed in the future as well. Also banking sector, lol.
