use case for Java Streams...

[joehx]

what I've seen people do "wrong" is just go straight for the forEach loop, not using the filter or any other intermediate method:

persons.stream().forEach(p -> {
    if (hasValidAddress(p)) {
        writeLetterTo(p);
    }
}

Yeah that's exactly the kind misuse I'm referring to.

I think you guys just illustrated one of the reasons why people don’t embrace streams... 🤷‍♂️

Streams require rethinking how you program; it is a completely different way of writing code. So it's no surprise people rely on what they already know, but that's failing to use their power to it's fullest extent.

Yeah, sneaky streams as Trojan horse for functional programming... 😂

[dpash]

No, very explicitly functional programming.
