Learning The Lesson

Posted by Dan Creswell in Software

This just shouldn’t be a surprise. Frankly it’s closing the door long after the horse has bolted – check out Martin Odersky’s comments in this article from way back when. Who wants to bet that in spite of all this we still get closures in Java?

We make this mistake all the time with languages, frameworks, applications and operating systems. When will we learn the lesson I wonder?

    “When will we learn the lesson I wonder?”

    The short answer: Never. Case in point: if you thought the closures controversy has died down and Java will be spared in the near future following Josh Bloch’s JavaPolis talk, you need to see how often BGGA closures get advertised on the oswego concurrency-interest mailing list to this day.
