correct. "Closures" (aka OO function pointers) will do what Java's opponents have been trying for over a decade: they will kill the language, reduce its acceptance for new projects to a mere trickle, reducing it to a has been that's used only where it's too expensive to convert the source base to other languages.
As it is 1.6 is coming close to that. Hardly anyone uses it seriously, rather sticking with 1.4 and 1.5. 1.7 will be worse, it will actively start people looking at alternatives, drive them away from Java for new development and force projects to consider the cost of porting to another environment as compared to the risk of sticking with a dying technology. |
