If it weren't for type erasure we wouldn't have the abundance of dynamic languages on the JVM. Developing dynamic languages on runtimes that have reified generics is a PIA.
- WorldMaker 10y agoIronPython, IronRuby, and plenty more dynamic languages on the CLR which has reified generics certainly disagree with your opinion here. If anything, my opinion is that the abundance of so many dynamic languages on the JVM, and the active use of those dynamic languages in JVM projects, has much more to do with how no one really wants to work in Java than anything to do with how generics work (or don't work) in the JVM.
