Duke’s Corner Podcast with Donald Raab, a Java Champion, the founder of the Eclipse Collections project, and a perfectionist who always seeks the best quality code. The conversation ran wild around all things Java and Donald's experiences with the technology for decades. He spoke in detail about the twenty year history of the Eclipse Collections project, his interactions with engineers on OpenJDK, the OpenJDK Quality Outreach Project, and the benefits for everyone being involved with not only Java but the greater FOSS community. In fact, when talking about the community, Donald said that working with the community is like engaging "unlimited, untapped resources ... you said community, well, it's real." Donald's book on Eclipse Collections comes out soon too!
