Re: Generational Interfaces

I think they can be called "soft interfaces" or "heuristic interfaces", it's an example of machine learning. I think it's not easy to apply such idea to a statically typed language, but probably it can be done on Java. I presume in the future GUI will learn more about the usage patterns of their us

Generational Interfaces

While thinking about generational garbage collection, the thought of generational interfaces occurred to me. I'd thought I'd run it by you guys. I'm curious if there are any examples of this out there. I've opined on this chat room before that interfaces are more often cum
