> Quality-of-life features that aren’t too hard to add, and don’t meaningfully change a language in its absence. Often syntactic sugar This is basically the premise of Project Coin, released in Java SE 7: https://openjdk.org/projects/coin/ https://openjdk.org/projects/coin/ The goal of Project Coin is to determine what set of small language changes should be added to JDK 7. That list is: * Strings in switch * Binary integral literals and underscores in numeric literals * Multi-catch and more precise rethrow * Improved type inference for generic instance creation (diamond) * try-with-resources statement * Simplified varargs method invocation
