Java generics are just syntactic sugar for Object, so not a problem at all since you can't do anything with them. Java overloading is simple since all functions are in the same file (so doesn't change overload behavior depending on which files are imported) and Java lacks the user type casts C++ has, so just pick the signature fitting all provided values (with numeric casts) or throw.

> Java generics are just syntactic sugar for Object, Only if you do not have a concrete boundary in the generic declaration, T extends Foo can result in a function definition that takes a Foo instead of an Object. > Java overloading is simple since all functions are in the same file (so doesn't change overload behavior depending on which files are imported) import static java.lang.Math.*; for programmers too lazy to write Math.sin instead of sin.
