I bet some profs saw Java as a simple language to teach back in the day.

After seeing some of the generics hells that you can see in javadoc, we can also see a 'simple' example of the future:

<R, T extends java.io.Closeable, throws E>
R with(T t, {T=>R throws E} block) throws E {
    try {
        return block.invoke(t);
    } finally {
        try { t.close(); } catch (IOException ex) {}
    }
} 

I am glad I don't have to teach Java. I would be running to teach Scheme for data structures 101.... or Ruby/Python.... or Haskell/Erlang....
