OTOH, sticking with Java might leave us lagging behind, entrapped in
never ending concurrency night mares and memory contention issues.
This is probably and simply not true: It is not the language's fault that
developers are not adhering to fundamental concurrency tenets like for example
immutable objects ... In fact it is a long-standing recommendation to strive
for immutable objects.
Which includes the whole Java collection framework: mutability around
every corner ready to bite...
Well, this framework is built around this --- after all a collection is here to
be modified.
There *is* such things as immutable collections. They are known to be
sound under concurrency and much easier to reason about than their
mutable counterparts and they are widely and successfully used in the
functional programming community. As I said in another reply: learning
other languages (and its concepts) can be a real eye opener...

But then they knew what they did and documented it ...
