Why doesn't the Java language have such language constructs as "properties" and "indexers"?

Question

Java

Why are there no such language constructs as "properties" and "indexers" in the Java language? Their introduction will not complicate the language itself, but it will greatly simplify the work and make the code more beautiful. Where are Oracle looking?

Answer 1

For the same reasons why there is no operator overloading in Java and a huge number of other goodies. Language designers don't like any syntactic sugar, and properties and indexers are syntactic sugar over simple methods.

Answer 2

Because Java wasn't made by Hejlsberg.
