Why Haven’t They Fixed This? by Maurice Naftalin and Stuart Marks celebrates Java’s 30th birthday by poking at its oldest annoyances—from spotty type inference and flaky concurrent-modifying iterators to strange Set equality, no built-in immutability, and collections that break when you change an element.
In this talk, you’ll debate whether these “obvious” fixes really are, explore alternative designs (and dream up better ones!), and walk away with a sharper eye for language and API trade-offs—and maybe the inspiration to start submitting your own improvements to Java.
