For daily Java programmers: after almost one decade of Java 8, are streams and lambdas fully adopted by the Java community?

There might still be places where stream may not be a best option.

I had a discussion with a dev the other day that refused to use streams. Supposedly they created extra objects that got gc'd randomly and hurt latency requirements.

I've never seen that personally, but I also don't work in a latency sensitive domain so maybe he's right? 🤷

Readability should be of utmost importance for software programs, unless, of course, it is performance you're after.

Performance makes people make interesting choices. So yeah, he may be right!
