Not getting in JDK 23 release as a "preview future" (as was previously expected), because the design is not finalized yet, and the "preview" thing is to test drive mature designs ready to be in the language.
It's not cancelled, and it's not even like the Go Generics situation, where the feature was shot down again and again due to endless deflection and bikeshedding. It will most likely make it in next round, which isn't that far in the future.
- jeffrallen 2y agoYou know Go has generics right? They took the time to get them right, but then they did.
- coldtea 2y agoYes, hence me using the past tense ("was shot down again and again"). >They took the time to get them right, but then they did I'd say thet just took the time to bikeshed, and ended up not with the "right solution", but with a Not-Invented-Here remake of the Generics wheel with bizarre warts.
