More on the "generics are evil" memeBruce Eckel, famous author of programming books Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++, writes some commentary about Arnold's article on generics (discussed here on LtU):
Here Eckel seems to agree with many opinions expressed in the previous discussion: that's not a problem with generics in general, but with the Java implementation. And he argues that it would be better if the language was designed with generics in mind in the first place, which I don't think anyone would disagree with. But the question is, how can we change the course of a moving train? It seems to be never easy. Can PL theory help the evolution of programming systems and not only their design?
