"Option is not a Scala thing, [it] is a micro-design pattern"
Today, JVM programmers are highly divided. It's not a perfect summary,
but
I would broadly categorize into two groups: those that want all the Scala
features and those that want to stick with a simpler Java-like language.
Option is a good marker at signaling which camp a programmer falls into,
but obviously Scala didn't invent or "own" the Option pattern.
I think I'm not fully understanding this. For the record, I'm definitely
not a Scala fan, and I definitely don't want all the Scala features in
Java, but I'd like to be able to use Option with the least effort.
