Underscores in numeric literals: already available in Ruby

Binary literals: as is from Ruby

But the octal notation is still in there.

They were in Ada way before Ruby was dreamed!
Comparing languages is a fail game.

Good link.
The base notation (2.4.2. Based Literals )is what Java should have implemented. At last , at long last, the programmer could write:
int tval1 = 000000451;
int tval2 = 003311112;
int tval3 = 900000001; // all aligned!
// and
int oct_special = 8#011#;
