Java generics ruined a perfectly good language. I mean:
Map<AccountManager, List<Customer>> customersOfAccountManager =
new HashMap<AccountManagerImpl, LinkedList<CustomerImpl>>();
where classic Java would have:
Map customersOfAccountManager = new HashMap();
and Python simply:
customers_of_account_manager = {}
However, even during my Java years, I didn't give up on the 79-character
religion (see above).
