Ein wunderbares Zitat von Slava Pestov über Sun’s Probleme mit Java 7:

“Shrinking resources” indeed. During the dot-dom era, Sun pumped massive resources into Java, hiring an army of mediocre programmers to crank out feature after feature, half-assed API after half-assed API. Now all those bad design decisions, complete disregard for maintainability, and backwards compatibility is really weighing them down, and they’re having trouble moving forward. [..]

It’s 2009 and only now they’re adding APIs to work with symbolic links, and move and copy files? And no closures? What a joke.

Absolute Zustimmung.
