Java generics ruined a perfectly good language. I mean:

    Map<AccountManager, List<Customer>> customersOfAccountManager =
        new HashMap<AccountManagerImpl, LinkedList<CustomerImpl>>();

where classic Java would have:

    Map customersOfAccountManager = new HashMap();

and Python simply:

    customers_of_account_manager = {}

However, even during my Java years, I didn't give up on the 79-character
religion (see above).
