Now that we have OpenJDK, what would be your perfect JDK to create?
I would love to create DeprecatedCafe or BackwardsCompatIsForSuckers versions of OpenJDK than clean out the crud.
And then, change items such as java.util.Date to use a new version that actually works, and then ….
We could clean it up and call it what… SeaSharp ?

I agree with you on the java.util.Date class, can there be a worse class to work with? Maybe its java.util.Calendar I’m not sure.
So can we nominate you to clean up Dates in java :-)

Personally, I think we need a version with a lot more operators. We have a language that supports full unicode, yet we only have 20 or so operators.
Why isn’t there a standard operator to implement such operations as
x = x + 1 % n
a[i++]
x = x * 10 + digit[i++]
or
i = ( flags & (0xFF << n)) >> n
We should definitely have operators for all of these and many more – and with unicode, we can. Just use some of those weird thai characters that only 70 million or so people know how to pronounce anyway.
Would this be a good place for a smiley?
