since every other bigger company 
invents/transforms to new languages (IBM with swift,
Go or Dart with Google, TypeScript with MS) how do you 
evolve with Java without purging its history.

1. If I ask to add "named parameters",
"property literals", 
"multiple return values" how do you decide whats going 
into the languague and not end into a 
monster like <some other older multi paradigm language>?

2. if you dont want to wait years until such features enter 
the language; do you ever think about "Java 2.0", hence starting over.
