09:05 aditsu pdurbin, philbot: ah, wb, let me repeat what I wrote earlier
09:05 aditsu hmm, lambdas are great, but they seem to clutter the call stack a lot..
09:05 aditsu also see http://blog.takipi.com/the-dark-side-of-lambda-expressions-in-java-8/
12:13 pdurbin aditsu: I see what you mean. So you've using lambdas a lot?
12:16 pdurbin yeah, philbot and I were offline for a few hourse yesterday: http://i.imgur.com/V8msfL9.png
12:17 aditsu pdurbin: not a lot, but I started using them here and there.. I'm coding some algorithms recently, and getting a bit worried about the size of the stack
12:17 pdurbin I'm not sure what happened. To fix it I power-cycled the Digital Ocean droplet.
12:18 pdurbin I let Netbeans go ahead and change simple for loops into lambdas. That's about it, so far.
12:19 aditsu oh, I didn't know that was a thing, I'm only writing lambdas intentionally
12:20 aditsu although I suppose an automatic refactoring of single-method anonymous inner classes would be useful
12:23 aditsu streams still feel very foreign to me though..
12:24 aditsu I wish they did more functional stuff on collections directly, rather than adding that stream "layer"
12:26 pdurbin Hmm, what I hear is that the main way that one uses lambdas is via streams, that streams are the real user-facing feature. Yeah, it's an extra layer.
12:49 aditsu I'm using them more like general tasks or callbacks
12:52 aditsu and implementing all those little interfaces, like Comparator
13:00 pdurbin cool
