a Turing complete scripting language for smart contracts that looks like Java

Looks like JavaScript

Actually there are languages outside of Solidity, lll (lisp like) is the most intriguing to me, and Serpent(python like), there is one more (which I am failing to recall).

But Solidity is the flagship language.

Serpent is outdated; Viper is an up-and-coming replacement.

They both have curly braces but...

Solidity: strong static typing, class-based, all numbers are integers.

Javascript: weak dynamic typing, prototype-based, all numbers are floats.

That is not an advantage though.
