So then Java is a weaker language than C#? Is that what you're saying? -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sina Bahram Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 5:45 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: java Lists Since java 1.5. They are actually, in a minor way, but one I really don't feel like spending 4 paragraphs on, better than the c# generics. When you get into generics of generics and passing them around and then getting tricky with specifiers, is when you notice the minor differences between java and c#. I actually wrote up an email to Ken and Chris Hofstader, both from this list, as a part of an old project we were working on, complaining about this difference ... *thinks to himself whether he can find that old email* Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kerneels Roos Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 5:39 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: java Lists Hi, since when did Java get Generics like in C# -- just curious as to when it became part of the Java SE JDK.
