01:56 sfisque tbh i see optional as merely moving the problem.  you still have to unwrap it and deal with null references on the external side, or put the defensive code into the Optional.  so it's not really a solution, but merely a different implementation of  " x == null ? handleNull : x.doOriginalIntention()
01:57 sfisque its nifty, but in the end, it's just sugar

05:55 aditsu pdurbin: well, javafx is still a kind of "other" framework I'm checking out
05:57 aditsu as for web, I think I'd like to look into JSF but don't know when I'll find the time
06:17 aditsu regarding Optional, groovy's way seems a lot more practical
06:18 * aditsu prepares to be hanged by a crowd of angry Haskellers
07:31 nanoz ?

07:37 aditsu soap is good, gets you clean and smelling nice
07:47 nanoz :!
07:48 nanoz webservice aditsu
10:21 pdurbin sfisque: but if you use the flatMap stuff you don't have to check for null. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/java8-optional-2175753.html

16:15 sfisque .orElse is basically a null check.  all they've done is wrap it in a method (aka  sugar)
17:00 aditsu pour some sugar on me ♫

19:00 pdurbin the Java 8 style definitely looks different
19:02 pdurbin oh, these slides are related (and interesting): http://www.slideshare.net/mariofusco/monadic-java
19:10 pdurbin it would be interesting to work in a code base that uses Java 8 syntax whenever possible
