Why Haven’t They Fixed This? Maurice Naftalin and Stuart Marks celebrate Java’s 30th and pick apart decades-old annoyances—type inference that blindly stumbles, iterators that freak out on concurrent tweaks, baffling set-equality quirks, zero immutability support, and sets that collapse when you tweak an element. All seemingly trivial to fix, yet still there. They’ll challenge each other on how to solve these puzzles and why Java’s architects chose their path.
By the end, you’ll see the hidden design trade-offs, learn to wring the best out of Java’s current tools, and maybe even dream up your own fixes for the next generation of the platform.
