Java 1.0 code is legal 1.5 code. That's what I'm saying. The majority of C code compiles perfectly with a typical C++ compiler, and Javac 1.5 can compile 1.0 code. In my opinion, the decision to allow that greatly hindered what could be done in each of those designs. C++ isn't as clean as it could have been due to C compatibility, and Java definitely is cluttered now. Someone else compared the decision to use Ruby 2.0 to the decision to switch languages. I think that's great, because it means Ruby could (deliberately, carefully) shed any clutter it has acquired during the march through version 1. I'd hate to see my favorite language grow old and brittle. > I understand what you're saying.

People "love" it when you change the way something works. :) Whatever you decide will turn out well, I'm sure. I'd just like to cast my vote for agility and change, rather than stasis. --Wilson.
