Well, that JDK 7 delays doesn't surprise me either, considering the mess that was already started under the last months of the Sun management. In particular, the way closures were brought again on the carpet, without a clear idea of what to do, was worrying. So, my question:
1. I thought that Jigsaw was pretty complete, and project Coin pretty simple. So, what are the things preventing them from being ready soon? 2. Why did Lambda restarted the discussion from scratch, just to realize that there's nothing concrete, when there were already two proposals that as far as I understand were formulated in very good details? In any case, for what I see every day, none of my customers will be minimally worried about that. But it will be another burst of FUD and going on like that I don't know I'll be able to survive to the end of the year :-( Unless I stop reading blogs and mailing list, and I go out taking photos instead :-) Which might sounds as a good idea. PS Scala guys should realize that this event is really putting a lot of pressure on the Scala community. Now you have a window of 1.5 years: if Scala doesn't manage to get popular before Java 7 is released, there won't any more chances for Scala. It would mean that people really don't care a bit about closures, lambda stuff and all the other Scala stuff. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
