Summary
At QCon 2008, Neal Gafter discusses how to evolve a widely deployed language without causing disruption using planned changes for JDK7 (superpackages, closures, annotations on types, type inference, exception handling, and self types) as an example. He examines how the changes are conditioned by preexisting language design choices, and discusses their influence on API design.
Bio
Neal Gafter is a software engineer and Java evangelist at Google. Previously, at Sun Microsystems, he designed and implemented the Java language features in releases 1.4 through 5.0. and led the development of C and C++ compilers at Sun Microsystems, Microtec Research, and Texas Instruments. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Rochester.

This was obviously made before the Oracle takeover.
The best thing for "Java" would be to port C# to the JVM. -
C# for Java already exists. For more information see dev.mainsoft.com/Default.aspx?tabid=177

Doesn't Neal Gafter work for Microsoft now?
-
C# == Java port to the MS JVM (CLR)
-
so why is type inference (the hashmap => map assignment) a potential feature, but the put/get example not.
generics still seem arbitrary to me - a system that meets someones stringent criteria, but not the majorities expectation. -
This video was recorded in March 2008. Given how quickly things change, it would be nice to see some fresh content.
"Info: Tracking change and innovation in the enterprise software development community"... one year after it happens. -
No, C# evolved. Java didn't
-
Neal gafter sucks. Josh bloch does a far better job at these kind of improvements to the JDK platform. Dunno what he is upto.
