I hadn't realized this before, but Java 1.5 includes a printf formatter:

Finally! :-)
It's very spiffy. It includes things like argument reordering and date/time
formatting.

%n is cool too. It outputs the platform's choice of line ending.

It's surprising how similar it is to std.format, although there are
significant differences (for one, the formatter is not an object in
std.format).

I see, Java's new way of doing varargs is neat.  And I'm a bit surprised 
(considering awkward syntactic salt I've seen in Java before) that it's 
decided to invent implicit conversions between primitive types and their 
standard wrapper classes.

  Why are you surprised?

  The immediate competitor C# does it. That's motivation enough.
