That really bugs me. When I began using Java I was really impressed at what I would now call dogfooding, that it was pretty much built in itself at least as far as the library goes, whereas I don't think that was true for any of the BASICs I'd used beforehand. It was true of C, C++ and Pascal which I used before Java but for some reason the importance of it didn't really click until Java. To see Fantom provide built-in generic types only seems like a serious step backwards, like not having lambdas or not having recursion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
