That said, I couldn't agree more. I really wish Java was blessed with a generics/templating implementation more along the lines of what D has. Instead, what you do get to work with is along the lines of a highly-specialized syntax sugar that does little more than get rid of (most) casts for generic collections. I can't tell you how many times I've been bitten by the problems that type Erasure causes. Stuff like this is exactly why I keep coming back here.

Sorta like 'The DaVinci Code' meets the Heads First series. A celebration of the hits and thorough explanation of the flops. (Scholars are still deciphering the Ahmadinejad comic.)
