Why Java Doesn't Need Operator Overloading (and Very Few Languages Do, Really)

[Paul D. Anderson]

Sounds like someone needs a strong dose of D!!

The comments bounce between "operator overloading is always bad because you can do idiotic things with it" and "operator overloading is essential because sometimes you really need it".

How about a language where operator overloading is available for the cases where you do really need it, but isn't available in general?

Hmmm...
