Response to: I am now rewriting applications from Java to C++
C/C++ better at multiplatform support that Java ? Emmm... I hope this was a joke ;-) About "vanity of Java 5 language improvements", do you realy consider genericity as vanity ? Again, I do hope this was a joke from you. About 10yo bugs not fixed, I think this is also a joke but from Sun, well ... a pretty bad one ;-) But, ey, now that JDK is officially GPL, there will be some serious changes on this area to anticipate ! About discussion on JDK7, I personally do nto see any advantages to closure but to make "function oriented programers" happy to use Java ! I would better see runtime aware genericity implemented so that genericity can benefit the dynamicity ... but this is a very personal choice.
