- hyperpallium 11y agoIs it? You could write a sinatra-like microframework in java a long time ago (I did). Just use methods instead of lambdas. Though, perhaps 8 has inspired framework developers, and - more importantly! - attracted a more adventurous userbase?
- edem 11y agoAt least I feel like. 8 brought some really needed upgrades (for example we have a new form of multiple inheritance). It is not perfect but I think with the Stream api and the lambdas they simplified things enough for people to at least give it a try.
- frostmatthew 11y ago> attracted a more adventurous userbase? That statement seems accurate without "a more adventurous" - I think with Java 8 more people are using Java because they want to instead of because they have to. e.g. professionally I've used Java more than any other language, it's hands down the language I'm most familiar/comfortable with, yet when I start a side project for myself I've never considered using Java (usually using Ruby or Scala). With Java 8 removing many warts and bringing in a lot of great improvements I'd actually consider using it for a side project.
