It's rich from someone coming from scala. I frequently see lambdas returning lambdas returning lambdas that return a new object.

Reminds me of an issue I submitted against Apache WS-XMLRPC 15 years ago, related to a class named RequestProcessorFactoryFactory.RequestSpecificProcessorFactoryFactory: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-147 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-147

Thanks for the source! Although, frankly speaking, Java libraries are still the most convenient to include/extend than most other compiled languages I've seen so far. Probably because of that culture of over-engineering for abstraction/extensibility.

  Looks like the FactoryFactoryFactory was proposed but a PR wasn't ever created sadly: https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition/issues/605#issuecomment-1222560743 https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...
