You've been quibbling about the inability to do things in Java more or less like you can do them in Python, which is why I threw that in. If that's not the issue here, why not answer the real question I had, where I asked for a specific example (or two) of where you are having problems with Java iterators? It's really easy to come out with high-flying statements like "yet Java still has trouble with them", referring to iterators. People say stuff like that about practically every construct in any language, and 90+ percent of the time they're adopting a fad started by some pundit. I expect even dudes like Gosling or Stroustrup or van Rossum to back up statements like that with some meat; why shouldn't you?
