well my humble opinion is that is we stick to java 8 we'll not be adapted by other projects before few years (and surely for an important enterprise projects as well) > JDK8 also opens the door for additional design features such as > > - static methods on interfaces Not a blocker IMO > - default methods IMO we shouldn't use it in the API - means it is not good enough or too complicated or not correctly "layered" - and for the impl not a bloker neither > - repeatable annotations Does it change anything for us (api/impl)?
