It's chilling but it will be a little while before we end up there. The engineers (and friends) who built these systems are wildly successful, and as often happens in these cases, they now feel guilty about that success, especially whe

Ironically generics don't necessarily solve this. C# requires multiple implementations of numeric methods because int/float/etc don't sit in a type hierarchy. It also doesn't really work in Java either because you h
