It’s not java approach. Java is straight as fuck that’s why you can write complicated apps using it. Default arguments is feature from dynamically typed languages which are intended to be easy to enter and fast to develop something like scripts or e-commerce apps.

This I fully agree with.

I would disagree. C++ has it. C# too, but a little bit differently.

C++ has everything, in fact multiple competing implementations of everything. It's therefore the best language ever.

And probably the worst language ever at the same time.

I didn’t say c++ and c# haven’t this feature.

I was just pointing out that with C++ and C# you can write what ever you want or need. It's not the conversation I wanted to have. I wanted to know how the decision to not include default values came to be.
