A lot of the focus in the HN comments is on ArrayLists, but I'm curious why the author chose to give linked lists an O(1) insert time. In some implementations (doubly linked list, inserting at the head of the list) I can see the O(1) t

I understand the viewpoint put forth here, but I think the big issue is making sure Java EE continues even as Oracle decides it's no longer worth the investment. I don't know how easily a group or organization (like Apache) can ta
