Old mail, but still worth responding to (I bet you can't guess that I'm touching this code again, can you?) I agree that having the ExecutorService take a...

I think you're conceiving of Future as a lazy evaluation thunk, or something similar. That's kind of what Callable is. It does lose something in translation...
I'm thinking the way the people who coined the term thunk. Java developers seem to have some issues with doing this (see also: value object). I am by no means...

I advise caution. That's a slippery slope. Charles Simonyi's Hungarian Notation single handedly hurt programmer productivity more than any other "innovation"....
To be fair, Simonyi get a bad wrap, because the original idea of Apps Hungarian got misunderstood and perverted into Systems Hungarian, and then inflicted on...
I said no discussion! :-) Anyways, I'll take your advice under consideration. I don't like hungarian notation in the least, and I suspect old habits will be...
