Unfortunately Java has a lot of extra crap already. I liked the language and was competent in it once, but when version 1.5 added generics and autoboxing, I left for greener pastures. Same thing almost happened to JavaScript this year with ES4, thank god it was cancelled.
- Tichy 18y agoSame here, generics are so ugly! I used to think Java is cutting edge with annotations and aspect oriented programming, until I realized that dynamic languages don't even need to add extra "features" to support most (or all?) interesting programming techniques. Any new features that make it into Java or C# will only make the tutorials longer and the learning curve steeper. Not a good thing.
