Nice piece. I enjoyed reading it.

I think the signature of Box.map() should be Box<R> map(Function<? super T, ? extends R> f), (instead of ? super R), shouldn’t it?

@anmnz Good catch, fixed.

thanks for taking the time to write this essay. really constructive criticism. i myself am no fan of dot method syntax in general for several reasons, one of them being that it doesn't scale well — never has. there are other better ways but require the PL to be multi-dispatch.
