Almost everything you listed as not in java is in java 8. Your distinction between "advanced" and "stuff I like" is a false one. Other people who aren't familiar with what you are familiar with will call those things "advanced". And when you learn those things you call "advanced", you will move them into the "stuff I like" category.
- saryant 13y agoOther than lambdas, almost nothing in that list is in Java 8.

- saryant 13y agoThe only thing in that article that was also in playing_colour's list was lambdas. Which I already conceded as being in Java 8. Not sure what your point is.
- copergi 13y agoYou missed immutability, collections, and first class functions.
- saryant 13y agoJava 8 doesn't have immutable collections, nor would I consider Java 8's lambdas to constitute first class functions. Java 8 doesn't have function types, just functional interfaces.
- copergi 13y agoImmutability and collections were two separate list items. And "it doesn't count cause I don't want it to" doesn't really change anything.
