This is a great point, honestly. I don't like using random tuple util classes from my dependencies (other than in Scala now since they have it in their standard library) in any public code (though it's usable in private methods, etc.). Given a nice enough tuple library, it may be possible to see it start to replace all the random tuple utils elsewhere. > I think converter functions between java.util.Date and java.time could be > helpful. > Think of "old" modules of your application (maybe 3rd party libs) which > require the one > and other parts which require the other.
