Developers don't want (or need) more complexity at the language level, they want/need more simplicity - hence the rise of Ruby and all the MDD/DSL "hype." It is so sad to see that Java has completely lost touch with its roots and original purpose as a "simple" language, instead taking on the role of chaser... chasing .net and whatever other competing language/platform is popular. I can only hope that the Jigsaw working group actually pays attention to what Peter has to say; after all, he might know a little bit about designing, implementing, and using module systems in Java...
