Java-the-language is a particularly egregious example of
imperviousness to change; it took how long to get foreach? Well, until
the C# bleeding got too bad. And Java lacks sugar for design patterns
set in stone. I tell people to head over to Lombok[1] the moment I
hear they're stuck in Java-the-language.
