How about this typo:
"Anyone who has been a serious java programmer in the last several years should know the name Josh Bloch, and more importantly, should have read his book Effective Java. Josh, acting as java's platform architect has been directing and guiding Java into it's current incarnation as a mature, robust (Cue the laughter from the peanut gallery) programming language.
The Java programming language has nothing but deteriorated under Josh Bloch's watch. It started with his introduction of "optional" methods in the collections framework, not to mention interface duplication. Then it continued through Java 1.5 as he led JSRs that included Generics (a terrible incarnation of psuedo-type saftiness) as well as the introduction of "printf". If I wanted to program in C++, I'd program in C++.
I wonder what kind of "great innovations" he has in store for us at Google.
