They mostly have to do with design decisions / implementation details, not issues with extension methods in general.

There are good reasons. When you begin writing IDE support you will discover that: 1. Without annotations you’ll be forced to index all static methods based on the first argument, globally. 2. Method call code completion will be ridiculous.

My sentiments exactly. The “API designers should control their APIs” one is my favorite and one of the more ridiculous things I’ve heard him say, which is saying something. It’s beyond humor, though, that all of his reasons are fallacies.

They are good about supporting latest JDK release and all LTS releases, going back to 8. It’s Oracle’s saber rattling lately concerning plugins like Lombok and Manifold that make me more disappointed than nervous.

The West has been importing its population for decades, full gas since 1965. Not only is this strategy failing, it is a significant contributor to the West’s current decline. The core problem is more centered on the dynamics of the 20th cen

It’s all about the bottom line. Touch screens consolidate a ton of otherwise expensive switch gear. Going back to physical knobs and buttons means going back to paying for engineering, assembling, testing, etc.

A general purpose language as the basis for a build tool always felt like a sledgehammer/nail situation to me. Personally, I prefer less concise, less flexible build config tooling.

Here we are in the current year and we still i/o source as raw form text. Personally, I’ve always hoped for standardized AST formats with comprehensive tooling, including source control. Many more problems vanish than are created with

I recall learning Prolog for a CS class back in the late 80s to model problems using its backtracking (chaining) algorithm with facts. Sometime later Rete-based rules languages became popular, but I always thought Prolog’s language approach

The manifold project integrates code gen directly into the compiler. The GraphQL[1] module is amazing. The JSON[2] module for REST looks similarly impressive, but I haven’t personally used it. 1. https://github.com/manifold-

Not sure what you’re getting at, sharing here does for you exactly what you would do with explicit composition.

There’s a Java compiler plugin, manifold, that makes this type of syntax easy. There’s an example covering the date “literal” case… https://github.com/manifold-systems/manifold/tree/master/man...
