What I miss most in JDK 6 is the strings in switch statements. Then I would like to see faster startup of Java applications which I guess would be addressed with parallel class loading. For the rest I can say: It is more important to have a stable and well thought and well tested jvm and jdk. Python and Scala suffered from incompatibilities across updates and the like. I don't want that happening to Java as well. C++ did not evolve for plenty of years and guess what: A majority of developers is using C++. Debian people are known for "releasing when it's ready" and guess what: Plenty of people rely on Debian and are satisfied with it's stability. I want a stable programming language I can rely on. This is far more important than everything else! I can perfectly understand that after such a big merger and after many of the old very involved people left, things need to be reorganized. The most time I loose is investigating programming errors that I finally find to be bugs in the underlying software I am using. Take the time it needs to deliver the awesome stuff. -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
