I'm reading about closures which are going to appear in Java 7. And I'm a bit confused because from one hand there are lots of nice articles which describe new java closures.

I know there are some nice new features in C# 4.0 but I can't, for the life of me, think of a compelling reason for either upgrading existing projects or for switching to new projects. I've seen some posts where people have said that if their hosting service didn't provide .Net 4 that they'd find another provider as .Net 4 was pinicle t...
Some of the new features of Perl 5.10 and 5.12, such as "say", are defined as features, that you can enable or disallow explicitly using the "feature" pragma. But other additions, like the named capture groups of regexes, are implicit. When I write Perl using a 5.10+ interpreter, but want it to also run on 5.8, can I make Perl complain ...
Starting in Perl 5.10, it is now possible to lexically scope the context variable $_, either explicitly as my $_; or in a given / when construct. Has anyone found good uses of the lexical $_?
