James Brings Closure to the Debate
January 31st, 2008
With a single paragraph on his blog, James Gosling just ended the Java closures debate.
Now, let’s move forward and git er done. I hope we never find a word that completes this sentence:
“Erasure is to Generics, as ________ is to Closures.”
Very nice! I loled! That comic was also very good visually.
Looking forward to closures. Hope they dont f__k it up like they did generics.
>I hope we never find a word that completes this sentence
^^ /agree
I’ve just loved the news, in spite of not being the best person to analyse its long term results. But there are a lot of smart people out there doing this and I think the discussion was not going anywhere.
I just hope these changes don’t spoil Java even more…
The generics tablet had me laughing out loud….nice job, Eric.

Excellent!
Ah, erasure…Hoch, Ptui!
“mostly patched together”: I love it, very funny.
I don’t know if ARM (Automatic Resource Management) would be necessary in a possible BGGA closure, but I think ARM is way too cool to be left behind.
It’s time to unite the best features of each closure proposal and reach an average consensus (hopefully).;-)
great cartoon.
i like the guy with the torch saying “nothing”.
Also gosling looks like the chef in southpark.
