I rather like closures and streams quite a bit! Please do continue to improve the language, especially generics! Generics as they currently are are just so much more limited than they could be. I hope they end up fixing them and getting things moving forward again with respect to generics!
- kyllo 12y agoAnd how about some support for object literals, please...?
- aardvark179 12y agoCollection literals have been explored by http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/186 http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/186, have a look at the mailing list discussions on that.
- kyllo 12y agoI appreciate the link, but this information is not terribly encouraging. Steve Yegge somewhat famously pointed out how painful Java's lack of object literals is back in 2006, and some mailing list discussion is all the progress that the Java community has made toward that feature in the 8 years since. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/09/bloggers-block-4-ruby-and-java-and.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/09/bloggers-block-4-rub...
