I'm confused... Closures, multiple proposals, no closures and now closures again?!

The BGGA spec has been updated to version 06a at http://www.javac.info/

The demise of Java has began


:-(

Woohooo! Closures are awesome. Once you get used to them, you dont want to write imperative code again.

And who the hell will read your code again after you hav left the job ?

A competent programmer.

Any language feature can be used to write good/bad code. But if I get the chance to write

button.addActionListener(#(ActionEvent e) System.out.println("Hi!));

button.addActionListener(

   new ActionListener() { 

      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { 

         System.out.println("Hi!"); } } );

AWESOME!

But how the hell will you manage your code in your ENTIRE company, why will i work for you if your coding style is pathetically unreadable compared to mine ?

And hey yo, what will happen when every tom dick and harry create their own syntax , LOL

You will have to get used to it, I guess. Or you can start learning COBOL, there are a lot of jobs out there in the financial industry for legacy application maintenance. If you like a language that does not evolve, there is your chance. :P

Your replay says it all about who is wise and what i should be doing in next ten years
