@jodastephen "Upset that at not turning Java into Scala or Haskell" is not "Endlessly amused at the stupidity of Java 8."

@dibblego Actually Scala has clearly been of huge use to the Java 8 team, by demonstrating what NOT to do.

@jodastephen @dibblego do you have a link for a justification of the reversal of Mapper[A, B]? I'm really curious about the reasons for that

@etorreborre @jodastephen @dibblego join the club. Going against the norm without justification, would seem odd.

@jonoabroad @etorreborre @jodastephen @dibblego is that real, I thought it was a joke.

@jonoabroad @channingwalton @etorreborre @dibblego because in J the return type comes 1st in method defs? #guess (pls don't feed the troll)
