@zkat @yosh@toot.yosh.is trying to do generic collection interfaces is riddled with weird design landmines like this. so many things have Basically The Same Shape but differ in One Weird Way that makes shoving them into one box really weird To the extent that Java does it, they do a lot of weird cheats. Like equals and hashCode are defined on *Object* so that the Map interface doesn't need to specify requirements on the key type.

Jake WilliamsI can't wait for my AI generated email that gets 75% of my intent to be summarized by the recipient's AI assistant that misses the message and tells them I feel awkward ordering coffee online, when in fact I'm trying to warn them about a vulnerability in their Java web interface.
David Lo Pun‘Henry Ford invented the 40 hour work week’ is a very strange way to say ‘Henry Ford claimed credit for changes he was forced to adopt after a hard fought campaign by the union members he despised’.
