That's a Java thing, not a JVM thing. Try Kotlin for example.

What features or changes would make the JVM more amenable to other, non-Java languages?

Great article - anything for the JVM?

lispm • Mar 26, 2022 • View on HN

Programming languages on top of the JVM would not use that? Who said that?

I'd love to see something on the JVM against this.

The JVM powers a large percentage of tech. Don't decry it. You have other choices if you want them.
