Why Haven’t They Fixed This? Maurice Naftalin and Stuart Marks dive into Java’s 30th birthday to poke at long-running annoyances—type inference that bails on obvious cases, iterators that don’t handle concurrent changes smoothly, weird set-equality quirks, no built-in immutability, and breakable collections that fall apart when you tweak an element.
In this talk, they’ll debate whether these “easy” fixes really are simple, weigh different solutions (can we outsmart the Java designers?), and give you a deeper appreciation for language and API design—plus the inspiration to dream up your own Java improvements.
