Take your coding to the next level by learning advanced programming with generics. Here's how to use generic methods with type inference, type parameters, and wildcards in your Java programs.

By unifying primitives with references, a next step could be taken that allows type parameters to be ranged over all types. Java is not the only language eyeing generics capabilities these days.

Brian Goetz, Oracle's Java language architect, has been talking for quite a while about the need for new features in Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to improve its typing system on several ...

"generics over numerical types with efficient maths" is one of the real hard problems with the generics systems in many popular languages (c#/dotnet and java included, though java's type erasure ...

Goetz detailed some of his ideas about generic typing, which would allow developers to use generic collections of primitive types, and is probably better known as "generic specialization," in a paper ...
