Quite true, every single feature can be traced back to 80's and 90's languages that for whatever reason did not manage to become mainstream.

Maybe one could make a table stating the language feature and which language provided it for the first time.

Even if the language is like that, if it helps improving the situation where young developers learn that strong typing does not have anything to do with VMs, I find it quite positive.
