FWIW another thing that Guy Steele advocated was value types, which as I understand it is ongoing work:

I have said in the past, and will say now, that I think it would be a good thing for the Java programming language to add generic types and to let the user define overloaded operators.

He did get the generic types though, I think that was well over a decade ago now

This was in Java 5, in 2004. So two decades!

Or you could use C# and get all of those features.
