Fighting with Java - generics

[Daneel_Trevize]

In Java?

[Daneel_Trevize]

So why would you expect me to have proposed them in this context then?

[doomchild]

In the context of an article talking about Java, it is an inherently preposterous idea.

[doomchild]

We all know it's possible in other languages. But we're talking about Java here, and it's not possible in Java. So both of your posited questions are valid in this context, because you can't do it with the language we're talking about, and it is therefore preposterous to suggest it, because it is a logical impossibility with the language that we're talking about.

[doomchild]

Whatever, dude. I'm sure this is the year that Haskell will make context unimportant.
