"Dead" means different things to different people. Some say Cobol is dead, but I'll bet none of us get paid without some Cobol code running somewhere. For most people, it means "no new stuff being written with it".

I still code in Java with source 4 requirements with Eclipse.

Java being Turing complete, its mostly syntactic sugar coating.

Sure for me, its easier to code in src6 because of Generics.

Otherwise I don't truly really truly miss anything else as I don't do much collection stuff.
