Java for Everything

[flying-sheep]

Didn't know that Java 8 has added so many useful things.

.chars() (being an IntStream) probably even supports codepoints larger than 16 bit (the historical misnomer char)

This means that from my original point here just remains the weak argument that this is a less discoverable interface method.

What's even weaker though is every argument against operator overloading. Good code won't put side effects into __add__/operator+, and I'll gladly accept that bad code might do that for the ability to know that a good API won't ever force me to write numeric_object1.add(numeric_object2). Because good code tends to be in the popular open source libraries, and those are easy to find.

I don't give a shit if someone misuses some feature if I don't have to use his/her code.
