Java 9.md

Stuff that is planned for Java 9:

• Project Jigsaw: a Java Module System
• Money Currency API
• JSON API
• HTTP 2 Client
• Smart Compilation
• Process API improvements
• HTML 5 Javadocs and Unicode 7.0
• JNI 2.0 (yes please)

My wishlist:

• Optional braces for one-statement methods. Such that:

public int getEnergy(){
	return energy;
}

Can become:

public int getEnergy()
	return energy;

Why not? I feel that they aren't needed always.

• YAML API - because nobody really like JSON, or XML.
• Optional Semicolons - although this is unlikely to be added, I still want it! Come on Java, join the Cool Cids Club! Play with your buddies! Scala, Swift and Javascript will love ya! (You can't tell me nuthin', semicolons in JavaScript are 100% optional, fuck anyone who says otherwise :P). Pretty please? It's not 1995 anymore.
• Native Regex support would be interesting.
• Ruby-style default parameters. If you've had the fun of using these, you'd agree with me :P For example:

public BrainfuckProgram(String code){
	super(code, 1000);
}

public BrainfuckProgram(String code, int cellSize){
	super(code, cellSize, 1000);
}

public BrainfuckProgram(String code, int cellSize, int arraySize){
	//does stuff
}

Could be easily simplified to:

public BrainfuckProgram(String code, default int cellSize = 1000, default int arraySize = 1000){
	//does stuff
}

It's up for debate if the default keyword is required or not though, but I personally believe it looks more natural.

• Import aliases (cough Dyvil). For all those IWrench a**holes :P

import redmagic.api.items.IWrench as IWrenchRM;
import wasliecore.interfaces.IWrench as IWrenchWC;
import hydrocraft.api.IWrench as IWrenchHC;

• Multiline strings. This is common in newer languages, such as Golo.
