John Wagenleitner commented on GROOVY-7611:
-------------------------------------------
Closed PR# 403 due to some performance concerns with it's implementation. It
was suggested to have a dedicated jdk8 module, so will wait until 8 is made the
min for build.
> java.util.Optional should evaluate to false if empty

> Key: GROOVY-7611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7611
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Reporter: Christopher Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> In the spirit of the rest of the Groovy truth semantics, I suggest that an
> empty {{java.util.Optional}}, which is essentially a stream-safe equivalent
> of {{null}}, should evaluate to false: {{asBoolean()}} should simply delegate
> to {{isPresent()}}.
