Re: A few steps forward and a whole generation backward

I don't understand the issue you seem to have with these new language features. Even if Java were to include a preprocessor or allow the developer to generate cross platform byte code or machine native binary code via a java compiler option (Not exactly what you pointed to but I wouldn't be opposed to this.) Java will remain a better language then C++.
Lets not forget that these new features are not being forced on anyone. You are free to use then or not. Sure you will have to know and understand their uses in order to be a solid Java developer from here on but I don't see how these features weaken Java as an OOP language.
Cheers
