Re:Why it’s hard for programmers to write a program to flatt...

To me, this smells like:
* Required before: I only ever code at work.
* Recursion: I didn't get any/much theory in school
* Type checking: I don't know my language very well.
* Going beyond minimal: agreed- try not to hire them.
* Nobody required this from them before.
* Recursion is rarely used to write business logic, most common thing programmers write and learn. Same for static methods and being generic.
* Type checking is done by compiler for them, so no surprise that they don't know how to do it.
* Relatively few people go beyond minimal, so adoption of is java 8 is low
Overall, it looks like a good question to pick up the best developers - assuming this is what you want.
