A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I remember Josh Bloch telling a story in some interview about how he left this out of the Java APIs and had some co-worker grumble about the "axiom of choice". He later regretted the decision and thought it would often be a useful method, but I don't know what his reasons were.

If you have a link, please share :slightly_smiling_face:

it's funny though, he says they added the method to `Queue` and `Deque` but I can't find it

maybe he's referring to `remove(), poll(), element(), peek()` but those aren't random

Isn't he talking about atomically getting an element and removing it there?
