I do not want to sound dismissive, but IMHO the list of 
differences is a bit "small" to start a new language..

Those 3 differences are interesting though:
-Annotations.
-Modern varargs; typesafe, indexable, slicable and possible to 
pass on or unpack
-Easy to specify allocators during allocation

Though I didn't manage to find details about how they work on the 
wiki.
