I get that it is verbose but I kind of like that. It makes reading code less ambiguous. I understand that is just preference though. As for your import example

I get that it is verbose but I kind of like that. It makes reading code less ambiguous. I understand that is just preference though. As for your import example you can totally do that: > import java.util.Collections; Collections.sort(someList); You just have to make use of static methods. I do understand though that a lot of the standard library is not designed like this so your point is taken.
