As a Clojure programmer, I don't care about any of the Java language features or improvements, but I'm super happy that I'm getting a state of the art JVM that is continuously developed, maintained, extended and optimized, over a time scale of decades.
This is incredibly useful: having a good VM to run your code in, with good modern garbage collectors, is not an obvious thing (as many other languages have learned).
This is not the LTS release, so I won't be switching to it, but I'm looking forward to the next LTS.
