> It would be nice of you to compare Java generics with equivalents instead of just criticizing it. It doesn't help anyone writing "this is broken" not offering any alternatives or suggesting ways to fix the problem.

Hmm. If I knew your coolant was leaking, but had no idea how to fix it, would you prefer I didn't tell you? Just want to keep driving that car around with that coolant leaking?

At the very least, this is educational and helps better understand Java for those of us who work with it.
