Java already is way too bloated. It's missing no 'features'. Quite the contrary. It's time to drop several Java 'features'.

It's kind of silly, because you can write the basically the SAME article (changing only the feature) about any other language.

I don´t know if it's a really good idea to add everything you see on a programming language.

I agree with MCII, it'ts always the same. Feature request after feature request and in parallel a growing moan about complexity.
Groovy has closures and builders and Ruby has all of the mentioned missing features, naturally besides Post-hoc interfaces. Both running on the VM and both can use existing Java code. OK, they are not statically typed but they can be used when flexibility shines.
The time it takes to really explore a huge framework like Spring, is enough to learn another language up to a useful level.
IMHO Javas future as a language would be brighter if it would REDUCE itself.
