Virtual Extension Methods in upcoming Java 8 release

Question

When I see code snippets like

  interface A {
      void a();
      void b() default { System.out.println(\"b\"); };
      void c() final { System.out.printl         


        

Answer 1

I believe that "extension methods" concept is no more than just the last chance to hack/fix poorly designed APIs which have been exposed to "external world". Just syntactic sugar.
