Bruce Eckel was writing about Generics long ago and problems created by Erasure

Neal Gafter was trying to explain erasure

I have not read the Generics thing seriously till now .. i started some pdf from Gilad Bracha .. now i need to find it out

dont worry .. i guess nobody understood what generics means ..
In the new Java version, they've added a feature called generics which has a high learning curve.
An interesting thing to note that is i somehow like the idea. why because it adds complexity to the language :D .. and i guess we love tackling hard problems

Small correction...
YOU love tackling hard problems.
I am satisfied with just being the hard problem!
