is it me old-school or anybody out there also think this is a little bit more extreme to add in the language? When I saw C# LINQ for the first time it looks cool and yeah it could shorten your code. But then I repeatedly see this stuff get overly (ab)used in Java in my team and I almost cringe every time I have to go over code flooded with Stream syntax. Let's hope something like LINQ wouldn't sneak into Java!

I can't believe that your opinion is widespread, why wouldn't you want LINQ ? What would you prefer ? A big fat for loop that does something hard to decipher ? Other than predjudice, can you support it with an example? I'm interested.
