Java had major shifts in the language in 1.2 and 1.5. Java 8 isn't one of those cases. I think you'll find adoption won't be terribly slow.

- ljnelson 13y agoI would put lambdas in the "major shifts in the language" category.
- cbsmith 13y ago> I would put lambdas in the "major shifts in the language" category. Recompile away, stuff just works. Add lambdas to your code, compile. Still works. This isn't like 1.2 where you were adding collections classes (arguably for the first time) or 1.5 where you encounter generics.
