I miss Java 1.4. It was small and concise. Java 5 added so much that none knows all of it. Just look at the length of Java Generics FAQ. It's hilarious.

- skinkestek 6y agoI've - read that from start to end exactly zero times, - picked up generics in a day or two, - struggled with advanced types twice, half a day each time - struggled with type erasure twice, also about half a day each time. Meanwhile generics often saves me a number of minutes pr hour and makes everything cleaner and easier to read. I used Java before generics but once it arrived I never looked back and neither did anyone i know.
- karmakaze 6y agoJava before 5 wasn't a language, it was a library and number of jvm implementations. It wasn't until Java 5 that there was a memory model spec that defined how stuff was supposed to work.
