Eric, Your phrase is a bit convoluted, but I understand that you respectfully believe that brains and jobs are being sequestered in environments where Java 7 isn't installed. Right?
I respectfully disagree on various points: - Java 5/6 with Guava strikes a very good balance between programmer productivity, legacy integration and codebase maintanability, I say this having well in mind the reality of people and systems I see around. - making the best in a complex production environment is a good school of realism, professionality and effectiveness. seniority is not a mere sum of the languages and paradigms you can use - if I think at different software production concepts, I am more confident about improving versioning/deployment mechanisms and client-side programming than starting to use lambdas on the server for the sake of it - brain/job kidnapping happens all the time and is certainly not a direct consequence of the Java version used: it requires first of all the active agreement of the brain owner. I believe you gotta dig deeper before attempting seriously at judgements like that. Having said all this, be it clear I am looking forward to Java 8 :-) I still kind of remember this thread was about a JS book, but please let me follow this train of thought...
