I am not sure it makes sense to move to Java 8 merely because of the clojure->java translation, but it might be good timing so I would be OK with it.

I have started work on translating the util.clj to java (STORM-1226). I see some instances when translating the functional behavior of clojure to Java requires code that is already part of java 8. For instance, there are many cases where a predicate function is passed around (e.g. in find-first). I can go ahead and implement a Predicate interface and use that, but Java 8 has already exactly that functionality implemented. Would it make sense to move to Java 8 for the post-clojure branch 2.x? --Reza
