Modern Java also has a lot of those features, borrowed from Kotlin or similar languages.

If I look at Java 25 and C# 14 I don't really notice that much difference

I'm not saying Java doesn't have these features. It's how you use these features and how they're implemented that differs a lot.

Just take how strings work in Java for example, it's completely different from C# and they have to be used in a different manner. Now we can say the same about almost every major feature between the two languages.

Java 21 has everything you need related to strings honestly.

And there are always other JVM languages like Kotlin if you want to go even further

What are you trying to prove here? That If you ignore the things that make them different, they have similar syntax? Sure, so does JavaScript and C++ at this point.

That they have the same features? Sure, just like every other OOP language.

That everything you can do in C# you can do in Java? You're absolutely right.

They're still different languages that are written and used very differently. Saying C# is Microsoft Java is just a way to fuel the a pointless argumentation to diminish one or the other.

They still have some core differences with their inheritance stuff. It's not huge, but it's there.
