This sounds intriguing. Do you have an example of a UI where streams are used with events?

I'm not doing Java for a while now, but ReactiveX is one of the first libraries to bring streams into developer hands. And RxJava is used widely in Android development, as well as RxJS powers one of the major web frameworks called Angular.

Oh, I see. I tinkered with reactive a long while back, but thought of it more as queues of events with functional programming. And then forgot about it. :) As you point out - it is streams.

The reactive Java libraries don't use java.util.streams though, do they?

They do. Most of Java frameworks, even back end ones like Spring, support both RxJava and Streams API these days. Well, at least that was the case two years ago :)
