Here is an interesting blog post about Java 7: http://beautifulcode.oreillynet.com/2007/09/will_java_7_be_beautiful.php
It mentions a proposal to add something called "closures" to Java. I'm still trying to figure out how to use Generics. :] This makes me wonder if the Java programming language will reach a point where it becomes to complex. What happens when you need 4 years of university education to learn the language? Will a simplified version or subset of Java emerge, or will people start to migrate to a new language? Can a simplified subset of Java even exist, since programming libraries written in Java will start to adopt the new features added to the language. Does this worry anyone else? I'm curious about what you guys think.
