Which are entirely unrelated projects to this one with very different engineers working on it. Those are easily parallelized, if you will. I don’t see why having progress completely elsewhere by different people is detrimental to these goals at all.

I'll be fine and ignore it completely like I've done with lambdas. I just pity the fools who enter Java world to learn the language and will suffer trying to learn what they believe is something normal programmers use.

Poor souls.
