If by "syntax compatibility" he means code that compiles in one version does not compile is another, that's definitely true. Name collisions with the new default methods in Java 8 are one source. If your Comparator-implemen

This is sort of getting off topic, but... I agree that annotations are magical. The good news is that they announce magic is happening. When I see unfamiliar annotations in Java code I know to look at their javadocs. I like that kind of
