In short, the real problems with java are inherent to its design motivation, and can't be fixed with new features, libraries or other such 'improvements' (actually in many ways the features that they have added to Java have made things worse, auto-boxing and generics are a really huge mes of almost C++ proportions, nobody really understands how they work, not even the people that designed them.) uriel On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 1:37 AM, pancake <[email protected]> wrote: > This is for Java 1.0.2 > > We are in 1.7 I wonder if those logical side effects are still there. > > On Nov 18, 2009, at 7:57 PM, "Michael P.
