Re: JEP 445 (Unnamed classes): It’s.. still weird (structurally typed).

[Red IO]

I always through System.console() was designed as the scanner successor in
terms of std.in/out. It provides feedback rather a console even exists and
provides useful functionality for console application. Meanwhile many of
the Console class methods are equal to the interface suggested here.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't tutorials just "behind the loop" that
even new tutorials teach scanner and input streams instead of their modern
improved counterparts?

Great regards
