It is well known what how C++ templates can screw around with debugging and code maintainability. I'm not a big fan of Bruce. He often states the obvious and thinks he invented it. I was just giving a few examples of java *finally* starting to address language deficiencies, but I think they are doing it in a poor way. Checked exceptions are still a royal PITA too -- lots of little nit-picking things here and there add up in the long run.
