while the disgust is warranted, I can't help but feel that you've created a toxic culture there. for example, the Keyboard scene, being horrified because someone touched your keyboard is not logical behaviour. In fact, the keyboa

The thing I hate about java the most is: -that generics don't play well with primitives and arrays? I understand that jep218 aims to fix the first one. But it's been quite a few years now and why was this not done the right way fr
