In most scenarios, new ways of writing the same code is a waste of time. I actively discourage use of things like type inference in newer Java versions as it goes against the purity of the original vision of the language. It's a detriment to mental agility, and it also makes scores of incredibly useful, deep books and learning resources outdated and useless.
- int_19h 4y agoHow exactly does incessantly repeating yourself, in situations where the compiler is already perfectly aware what you're supposed to say, a "detriment to mental agility"? And how does it make books and learning resources outdated and useless? Old code still works exactly the same as it always did.
