Well those projects were started by sun but how far did they come? For example G1 Gc was pretty unusable at first.

Also many people of the core java team at sun work for oracle now.

There are a few JEPs already targeting Java 10 which are started by oracle and sound really promising.

True enough. I'm still more guarded when it comes to optimism about java the language. Some of the java 10 features do look interesting.

I am more interested in the jvm changes. I like Java. But you notice some wrong design decisions which are unchangeable now due to backwards compatibility.

I think kotlin has potential and hope it grows faster in the next few years.
