(probably enough said here, don't need to wander off too far...). >> Let's not forget that the Java coding guidelines come >> from the same minds that made `byte' signed, invented >> Integer#getInteger(String), and designed java.util.Date. >> Consider the source. > > Nobody is perfect. > and probably also JNI... but, yeah, unsigned byte makes more sense, and for a signed byte, there can be a type like, say: sbyte. then again, the lack of unsigned types in general is also a little annoying (and presumably it wouldn't have been *that* complicated to support them either, but whatever...). (the only notable difference at the VM level would likely have been needing to supply an unsigned divide operator somewhere...).
