Have you tried Groovy? It has most of what you list here, and for someone that's familiar with Java it doesn't take much getting used to.

Oddly enough, I've just started playing with Groovy:

Add Article for Hello World in Groovy #33

Merged the script #20. Never wrote the article.

I'm in the process of trying to get groovy files to run with docker (and writing a hello world article). Any good tutorials or documentation you know of for Groovy?

I liked Venkat Subramaniam's book, "Programming Groovy".

Hello World is just...

println "Hello World!"

That sure beats the heck out of:

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}
