This year’s JAX.de conference hosted many great Java thought leaders, including one of my personal favorites Gilad Bracha. If anyone has the authority to critique Java and the Java platform then surely it is Gilad who spent years working for Sun on the language and platform tools.

I don't understand the last item: 'Language development has moved away from professional language writer(s) and into the hands of hobbiest developers'.
It is now a good thing that it is in the hands of hobbiest developers.
Ex. 1 -- C# getting C++ified
Ex. 2 -- C++ ??

i think it is a mixed bag. On one hand, Gilad is right that many of the new languages are a grab bag of inconsistencies and edge cases which typically makes the PL community shudder. On the other, on a pragmatic level, Groovy makes me more productive regardless of what the PL community thinks about it.
