@espectalll As neat as this is, looking at Java makes me sad. :(

@strtwl I mean, it's improving a lot... on the other hand, I wish they could break backwards compatibility more frequently :shrug_yui:

@espectalll Luckily (or not), Windows is the reason why UEFI replaced legacy BIOSes. It's a major improvement, but it's so over-engineered that it wraps back to being crap again.

Think about this.In the past, with e.g. Java 7, there was no REPL. Nothing remotely resembling functional programming. It made you be as explicit as humanly possible, although in that version they introduced some fancy thing called a "diamond operator" which would let you write briefer variable declarations.So you would have to create a whole Java class file, explicitly declare an ArrayList<String>, fill it in different lines, and then write three lines of loop, compile that and execute it.
