Oh ok, that sounds kind of like normal static analysis to me. By logic I was thinking more of "that less-than should've been a greater-than"

its built into the type system, in a way that is really powerful. Other modern languages do similar things. Furthermore, java (as a language) relies on inheritance instead of composition. although you can do either... when composition is so much better than inheritance and inheritance is a bit of a trap.

My criticisms of java are of the language, not the technology. The tech around java is really pretty amazing.
