Draft Review of Java 7 "Measures and Units"

Posted by kdawson on from the comment-quick dept.

Jean-Marie Dautelle writes to inform us that the public review period ends on July 8 for JSR-275, "Measures and Units" Early Draft. The JSR-275 will be a major enhancement for Java 7 by providing "strong" typing (through class parameterization) and easy internationalization of Java programs, preventing conversion errors. The latest version 0.8 is available as a PDF. The reference implementation is provided by the JScience project under a BSD license."

    Seriously, Java folks, if you want stay employable, buy a C# book because Java was DOA. Take it from me, I work in HR at a Fortune 500 company, so I know a thing or two.

    Since I'm not in the habit of getting ass-raped by lying cocksuckers; I will not take it from you. The only way you could believe that Java was DOA was if you were working for Microsoft.
