alt Hacker NewsHandling JSON as a basics for language? Really? null restricted type will come with valhalla, string templates had a try, but people complained and they withdrawn them after 2 preview iterations. Not sure what issue people had with them and what issues maintainers noticed.
What do you mean by broken exception system?
Java is not a small language that you can throw features around, they have to take into consideration final goal of it and decades of development.
> Handling JSON as a basics for language?
Yes, even Mark Reinhold admitted that in the last "Ask the Architects" interview.
>null restricted type will come with valhalla
Will they? It's been 10+ years of Valhalla. Why is a compiler construct even behind project Valhalla? Kotlin has showed you don't need it to do them.
> string templates had a try
Yes they were over engineered and they failed to deliver a basic feature.

Yes I agree, but it shouldn't take YEARS to ship anything. 11 years for a JSON api?! Come on.
