I just hope they do them right and don't cripple them.

?
How will this affect programmer's productivity? It should even improve it. Or if you don't want them, just ignore them.

Look beyond Java: why not, for new projects (although it might affect productivity until programmers master the new language...). Hard to do for legacy project. At work we have a project with some millions of lines of code. We progressively integrated picked up features of Java 5 (generics, assertions, some annotations) but I don't see us converting the whole code to Scala!
