No.

Yes, you did.

(Though the epithets were less explicit than above, those are basically accurate capsule summaries of the semantic content of the things you wrote.)



No. Nothing about me is "incorrect" and you will desist from publicly insulting me now.

The opinions I have formed in the past few days

have nothing to do with Java and are incorrect anyways. Please refrain from discussing them here. This is not the appropriate forum for that subject matter. It is a forum for Java subject matter.

That's the point. Expressions have side effects. They must occur in a precisely specified order; chiefly, that means you can't rearrange them and expect them to work.

Math expressions rarely have side effects, and math is the primary target for operator overloading.

z = x + y; -> t = x; u = y; z = x.plus(y); or z = y.plus(x);

That doesn't cut it.

Yes, it does, and if you insult me in public ONE MORE TIME I'll ...

So, some things should happen at the same time as some other things. This is the substance of your argument that none of them should happen at all?



The only faulty assumptions that have been made here have been made by you. The only one being intentionally aggravating around here is you.

You said that I hate operator overloading.

I said that you appear to hate operator overloading. The fact that any attempt to propose operator overloading gets shot down with extreme prejudice by you is my evidence. You have supplied no evidence to the contrary, save your word, which, after the several incorrect statements you have made here recently about me, is mud.

To paraphrase xkcd: Logic. It works, bitch.

Cursing at me won't change the facts: you were wrong, about me and about the feasibility of operator overloading.
