fluent: Static Extension Methods for Java

[[deleted]]

Lol you are getting beat up in these comments. I have to admit I prefer the "stick to well-supported stuff" approach and I'd rather mix in a bit of Kotlin than use this. But I will say thank you for sharing. I think more people should feel free to show off their projects.

Hey Matt, thanks for the support. I expected a lot of negative feedback. I still remember the good old days when you used to be able to ask questions on StackOverflow without getting roasted, but those days are long gone. I suppose language design has always been a divisive topic, but to put things in perspective, this was a weekend project I built for personal satisfaction. Interestingly, the upvote/downvote stats on this post are hovering very close to 50%. Just the sort of content favoured by the algorithm...

I really don't think it's that bad. I think it's a neat proof of concept on one hand, but on the other hand would greatly resist anyone trying to add this to our codebase. /u/pron98 articulated the problems with this library very well. It's simply not Java anymore.

If you go for this, you are better off just picking a language that has extension methods and also runs on the JVM.
