  1. Yeah... no. Java 8 is nothing like java < 8. Nobody mutates in place anymore, even in the core APIs. How's that corba package doing? Have you tried the `Flow` api i.e. reactive programming? You can't write a meaningful app without 100+ annotations. Hell, we aren't even WORA/JIT these days! Java is nothing like it was 20 years ago.

  2.  @peppybocan  That's my point; it really isn't. Take a 20 year java dev who is stuck on < java 8 and show them this code. I know they won't understand it because i watch people botch it on a regular basis in interviews. They might grok what its doing, but they can't write or explain it. Its not just new apis; its an entire paradigm shift. Python and ruby devs are more familiar with this than an old school java dev: getUsers() .filter(u -> u.getAge() > 18) .limit(3) .sorted(Comparator.comparing(User::getRating)) .map(User::getName) .toList()
