Is it time to deprecate synchronized, wait and notify? @StephenC - Is there then a slightly less dramatic action we can take that will eventually result in them not being used or taught in college. They clearly should be avoided. I suspect PMD rules - although a good idea - would not reach the teachers very quickly. |

Programming interview question on Trees @WinstonEwert - It looks like my simulation supports your theory. |

Why aren't user-defined operators more common? Here is an interesting comparison of languages with reference to operator overloading. I am most familiar with the BCPL implementation. I recall my Uni prof making Ann shops at Sainsburys a perfectly valid BCPL program by careful use of operator overloading. |

Is it time to deprecate synchronized, wait and notify? Forgive me @Stephen if I came across as suggesting that we actually remove synchronized et. al. I am merely suggesting deprecation, which really only says don't use this for new code. I wouldn't dream of suggesting damaging tried and tested legacy code my demanding their removal. |

What does it mean that “language A is written in language B”? Interestingly BCPL was mostly written in BCPL |
