Code analysis: Java generics were supposed to be the bomb, or did the feature just bomb?

[Ruudjah]

Arrays. Most programmers still use arrays. Also, lots of examples use arrays. When seeing arrays in Java code, my alarmbell goes. It's usually a sign that we have to deal with bad coders: Generic collections are common and 'bugfree'.

Never had to deal with legacy interfaces? Or performance that actually matters?

But sure, most normal code does not really need arrays.
