I found the recent addition to Java Generics (the language I use on a daily basis) pretty exciting. Pretty interesting, considering the recent discussions on LtU related to type-safety in generic containers / arrays.

This is fantastic! I had no idea they had even considered adding variance annotations... I really hope this stuff makes it into the release...

The implementation is based on the ideas outlined in this paper at http://www.sato.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/papers/variance.html.
