Have a Nice Steaming Cup of Java 5

Posted by michael on from the milk-and-sugar dept.

I, for one, welcome our new virtual machine overlord. I have been using the release candidate, and startup times are noticeably faster, as is overall performance, and the new features like typesafe collections and static imports are great to have. Let the Java flames begin!"

    This should become part of a choice, it's like templates.
    Actually, the more I code in C++, the more I feel like explorating it further. Its' not the case in Java where it sounds like there's only 1 way to do each thing, mostly because of the plethora of APIs (WebLogic, etc.) that corporations force you to use over it...
