Instead of degenerating yet another thread into Java vs Scala debate (which it starts getting dangerously close to), what would be the thoughts on how we can actually influence Java 8 to have a proper Option type instead of this half-baked thing they have implemented atm.
BTW: I've actually created a decent implementation of Option/Maybe class in two of my recent jobs in a day (javadoc an all) without much fuzz and only passing theoretical background in FP, so this is really not all that complex when you get down to it. It is really very trivial implementation of a fairly trivial pattern. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
