title: Has anyone ever read the Java Language Specification(JLS)?
body: <p>I recently had a question about String and String interning - pretty simple question which I got a quick answer to. But lo and behold I got a detailed answer to that same question on pg. 29 of the JLS 3<sup>rd</sup> Edition. It's really interesting that a lot of the questions we asked are answered in the JLS but its such a boring 600 page read (the 4<sup>th</sup> Edition is even bigger). How bout you guys how many of you have picked up the JLS lately for a leisurely read?</p>
