From virtual extension methods to mixins

[François Sarradin]

Brian,

Thank you to share your advice. I think that my article provides a bad use
of Java too. I don't really encourage this. I am just saying it is possible
and let the reader decides if it is good or bad.

It is a good thing to share best practices, in a view to build "well craft"
software. I have done this with small demonstrations of Java's lambda at
Devoxx France this year. Moreover, I think you know that you can also find
more and more articles about such best practices in Java 8 (even in French
;) ). But I really think that we also have to share worst practices. This
is motivated by the wish to identify them and prevent them. That is why I
wanted to share such an article, even if it is unpleasant.
