[android-developers] Re: Problem With Thread !

There's always been Runnable, yes, but there hasn't always been the
cultural emphasis on composition rather than derivation. In other
words, I agree it was a mistake, but it was a mistake born of its
time, and not one that would be as likely to be repeated today.

Inner classes certainly exist -- they're just broken (only capture
final variables). The sense of unreality to which you refer is just an
implementation technique, and only visible if you peek below the
covers of reality. :) That's true of most any bit of programming
semantics you choose to examine that closely.
