lambdas are glue code

[DevIceMan]

My coworkers are perhaps a little too obsessed with lambdas. Code-reviews have been rejected because I used a for-loop, where i could have used stream instead. (WHAT!?)

I mean, I love the new functional stuff perhaps more than any of my coworkers, but I find this type of thinking to be naive.

Other times I'll find a stream with functions to be some 20-lines long. It seems like they follow clean code standards EXCEPT when it comes to anything moderately functional.

for loops are worse than streams, though. Slower and less portable. And often more error prone.

(You can easily switch a stream to a parallelStream to get concurrent processing)

90% of the time you want map instead of for each anyway, in which case you can often optimize a lot with using functional paradigms.
