JSON via XML

wtf:

<response>
    <content id="account-item-data">
        <items>
            <item>
                <JSON>
                    {"id":"5078","confidential":"false","sort-date":"20081027200000",
                    "save-date-mmdd":"Oct 27","save-date-yyyy":"Oct 27","type":"N",
                    "allow-remember":"true","keys":{},"vendor":
                    {"first-name":"Johann Sebastiann","last-name":"Bach"}}
                </JSON>
            </item>
            <item>
                <!-- ... -->

(java) wtf do we have to use separate files?

Imagine, we have a bunch of classes like Player, Board, Piece, Rules, History, etc. And they are all stored in separate files in some directory that is called package. Why? Why not have them in one file, named Game, and let them be inner classes of Game.

I know, I know, the file may become huge. But what if it does not? What if the whole size is not that big? The advantage would be the follwoing:

all these functionally closely related classes will share common environment that may be totally invisible outside.

We do it in JavaScript all the time, you know.

Say, I would prefer to have Function and Monomorphism and Isomorphism and Id classes be inner classes in Functions class, which would also have a static method for composition, for instance. Instead of, you know, having the bulb to want to change itself, if you know what I mean.

interview question

You are given an interface,

 interface Function<X, Y> {
   Y apply(X x);
 }

Write a method that takes a value and returns a function that always returns that value.

I wonder how hard it is, for general public.
