Just came across this video which cranked me silly:

And usually, it got me started thinking about software development and especially Java next version. For example, press play and sing the following lyrics:

Java 7 coming out
exciting times, maybe not

Still working on version 5
OSX sucks

Thought I use the perfect language
JSR make me anguish

learned about closures
to find out its a worthless pile of crap

suffered through the ruby craze
to find out its not a phase

OSGi, Java modules,
would you like to place a bet?

old JSRs are here again,
JCACHE, XML

time to write a Java book,
it will be 1500 pages long!

here comes another version,

its a shameless copy
of .NET and ruby

first you need a closure,
then a second and a third

take at least three shots
at getting generics right

find yourself a task to do
fork it out, join it back

just a pretty way to say
map reduce all the way

need a cool feature list
must be simple, backward compatible

something cool like
invokedynamic, BigDecimal, multicach, and rethrown

write yourself a simple switch
code it up just with strings

add some setters to your bean
chain them up, sexy beast

here comes another version

SUN is rocking,
so don’t come a knocking

fight fight fight it out
fight it if its big or small

Anybody care to continue? :)
