IF they want to address any of the pain points I'm having with my current java/android project (excluding those caused by cow-orkers) they need to concentrate on stealing more of the deverbosifying syntactic sugar C# has. I'd suggest autoproperties and the array operator for collections as a nice starting point.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Now it’s up to governments around the world to decide whether they’ll choose the Apple and Google approach, which has privacy and usability benefits, or whether they will create their own apps using their own technology to empower their public health departments with additional data. Who do you trust: Apple/Google, or your own government?
Or C: None of the above

The GO language was developed in 2007 by a Google team led by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, and was officially released as open source in November 2009. Alas, you do not collect $200, no matter how many times you pass Start
That design team is pretty impressive though

I passed go 40 years ago. I still haven't gotten my $200 check.

Considering the amount of money paid to those who know COBOL, I wonder why I can't convince my lazy ass to learn it as good as Jules learnt Ezekiel 25:17.
Addendum: last I heard it was up to 480k/year. Four hundred and eighty thousand, no typos on the number.

I have no problem with COBOL (or RPGIV) - the languages are just ways of expressing algorithms, some make you work a bit harder

Takes me back to 1990 when I worked as a COBOL programmer in my first job during my sandwich year at university.
I just pulled out my dissertation for that year and saw that we made changes to the code by writing diff files that were then applied to the actual COBOL code so that we had version control of changes.
