Honestly, this is annoying. There's no meaning in having lambdas if the
library support lacks fundamental features - I don't know about the JDK
developers, but I trust a number of people here about lambdas, so I'm
worried by their negative evaluation. I wonder whether we should plan for
searching satisfaction in an alternate, third party library for
collections - maybe Guava updated to JDK 8? I'm serious about that,
because if Guava will enjoy a satisfactory update for Java 8, I might put
it into my arsenal right now (so far I've just played with it a bit) and
could provide a reasonable transition path to JDK 8. I mean, if one is
used to Guava collection, I suppose there will be less effort in just
upgrade them for taking advantage of lambdas (I wrote Guava, but it could
be even something else, of course).
