The wildcard feature was NOT tried out thoroughly!
Is there an impedance mis-match with Java and the BGGA proposal ?
Should new features for the Java language stop ?
The BGGA proposal could feed new puzzles
Java should stop with new features...
Isn't their a good point in between BGGA and CICE/ARM... ?
Should Java be more restraint than C++ ?

What do you do at Google ?
What do you think of C# LINQ ?
What is your position towards Closures ?
A very interesting JavaPolis Q&A session with Joshua Bloch on closures and other Java related topics. From 'Is there an impedance mis-match with Java and the BGGA proposal?' to 'Was the wildcard feature tried out thoroughly enough?' and 'What is your job at Google?'... enjoy the ride!
