I just noticed there's no 1.0 release, so I suppose it doesn't even need to change the version yet. On Sat, 3 Aug 2019 at 12:24, Matt Sicker wrote: > > Oh I’d be interested in a functor2 that’s adapted for Java 8. I might work on > a proof of concept proposal first. > > On Fri, Aug 2, 2019 at

Hi Gilles I can't speak for others, but I agree we would need to remove most of the code that is now available in Java 8. I think [functor] would need more a place for functional code that does not belong to lang, but is still useful to other devs & components. Bruno On Saturday, 3

Commons Functor looks more like Java 8 functional programming, that's for sure. I'd never looked at that before. On Wed, 31 Jul 2019 at 01:05, Bruno P. Kinoshita wrote: > > Hi, > > >Or maybe more accurately, Commons doesn't have any libraries

Yeah, Commons libraries are almost intentionally behind the times in order to provide functionality to the most people. Sometimes, Java even adds things that make a Commons library somewhat redundant in theory (like NIO2 from Java 7 which could theoretically replace Commons VFS as an API). I can

Fernando, In general, it feels to me the Apache Commons community is split and slow moving to adopt newer version of Java. Currently, updating the platform requirements of a component to Java 8 causes some people to react with "What about people running on Java 7?!" comments, or "What Java 8
