I agree that "frozen" is too hard for this poll. I'm not in favour of "freezing" in the sense that anyhting is changed, but I only hope in minor changes.
For what concerns generics, I agree that they are indeed a good addition to the language, that can lead to more robust constructs and for some aspects is more readable (returning a Collection<Date> is more self-documenting than returning a Collection). It's just that they could have been designed in a simpler fashion, as Howard Lovatt recently suggested at Artima. Sun probably tried to do "too much" with them, and this is precisely what I fear from possible further additions. It's better to have minor effective changes, for most dramatic improvements go with a brand new language. |
