- adpirz 10y agoAs much as I'd like to see them as well, I'd imagine we won't get much as that's Google's IP, but would love to know generically if that's true from anyone who has worked with said libraries.

- lkmslkmdfsd 10y agoAre you trying to make a point?
- dmoy 10y agoWell for one, see Guava and a bunch of the stuff that has been rolled into java proper over the years.
- lkmslkmdfsd 10y agoWhat is the equivalent that it is much better than?
- jimbokun 10y agoSeems to be a competitor to Apache Commons, can decide for yourself whether or not you think it's better.
- lkmslkmdfsd 10y agoApache Commons (Collections and some others) is a very old, basically legacy library, they are not nearly equivalent in terms of functionality so comparing them makes no sense. Google Guava is a nice library but it doesn't have any alternatives that I know of so it can not be used as an example to support the above generalization (which would need many examples to hold any weight anyway). Angular vs React is a counterexample I can think of. Angular is shit.
