One of Java's original goals was to work in embedded systems. As such, I think type erasure actually is helpful to reduce the size of compiled artefacts because you haven't monomorphised functions - hence avoiding potential bloat.

To go with sibling's comment, Wadler also had a hand in designing Java's generics while Guy Steele was a co-author of the Java Language Specification. And the idea that Eric Meijer ignored PL research is just mistaken. Instead of

No the point of interdependence is when its mutual. If it's about domination then sure you have one country invading another. When there is mutual interdependence then it's a massive disincentive for war. Such a weird exchange. Yo
