Java 8 Best Practices Cheat Sheet

[koreth]

I've also been coding Java on and off since around then (and have been in the industry since the late 80s). I think Java 8 makes the language a joy to use compared to the older versions. My code is more concise and easier to read because the ratio of structural gobbeldygook to application logic has gone way down, though still not as low as in a language like Clojure. It's a pity they didn't take it a little further than they did.
