Well, my wish list is more on the practical side, because I don't care that much about the type system anyway. It stays out of my way but helps me to get “impossible” stuff done if I need it:
- Remove floating-point literals without a number after the point, e. g. “1.” - Remove octal literals Both points are being adressed, as well as: - the new pattern matcher is in trunk - the stuff behind the XML literals is being made more flexible, so the implementation can be replaced So overall, I'm very happy. Existential types are pretty much the sane cousin of wildcards and necessary in some places. I'm pretty much against removing implicits, they are one of the key features of the language. I wonder what the whole angst is all about. Java has implicit conversions, C# has implicit and explicit conversions and those two languages are still alive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
