Primitives in Generics workshop in Bulgarian JUG

[Ivan St. Ivanov]

Hi everybody,

To complete this topic from our side, I've written a series of blogs (as
promised) to "translate" Brian's *State of specialization* paper in
something that even I can understand.

http://nosoftskills.com/2015/02/primitives-in-generics-part-2/
http://nosoftskills.com/2015/03/primitives-in-generics-part-3/

Special thanks to Brian himself, and our Adoption group's own Martijn and
Richard for the guidance! :)

Stay tuned for some more cool stuff from our JUG ;)

Cheers,
Ivan
