What breaking change? They implemented type erasure specifically not to break existing code.
- oblio 5y agoBad wording, sorry. It was breaking for C#, for Java I wasn't breaking, just ecosystem diving. For example, Hibernate still doesn't use generics fully, from what I remember (they had their half baked system from before). Adding them later is such a big change that touches so much code you can date it into pre generics/post generics:-)
