The James Iry Java Class

James Iry has posted a mind blowing article on his blog “ONE DIV ZERO” again. He is famous in Scala circles and beyond. As a tribute I present the strangest Java class, the James Iry Class (taken from his article):

public class Foo {
  public Foo foo(){ System.exit(1); return null; }
  public Foo bar() { return bar(); }
  public Foo fooBar() { throw new IllegalArgumentException(); }
}
