> Anyway, they recently started from scratch again on modularization, so pretty much all the work done on Jigsaw before that is lost anyway Nonsense. Just because you throw out a design doesn't mean that "everything is lost": you've learned a lot in the process and you're going to use that knowledge to draft the next design. Java is often made fun of for moving at a glacial pace but quite a few languages could learn a thing or two about the benefits of shipping features that are designed right from v1 (Scala has been much more reckless in that area). |

Eh, could you mention a few things which were "designed right from v1"? I can only imagine enums, but what else?
