5. A Taste of APIs

}

7. List<Developer> developerYoungerThan30Years = developers

8. String namesOfDevelopersSeparatedByComma = developers

9. Set<String> languagesKnown = developers
.stream()
.map(developer -> developer.getLanguages())
.flatMap(List::stream)
.collect(Collectors.toSet());
System.out.println(languagesKnown);

10. MutableList<Developer> developers = Lists.mutable.of(
new Developer("Raj", 30, Arrays.asList("Java", "JavaScript")),
new Developer("Meena", 24, Arrays.asList("Java", "Groovy", "Scala")),
new Developer("Mark", 28, Arrays.asList("Java", "JavaScript", "Groovy"))

11. MutableList<Developer> developersYoungerThan30 =

MutableList<Developer> developersYoungerThan30Alternate =

.reject(developer -> developer.getAge() >= 30);
System.out.println("Age < 30: " + developersYoungerThan30Alternate);

12. String namesOfDevelopers = developers
.collect(developer -> developer.getName())
.makeString(", ");
System.out.println("Names: " + namesOfDevelopers);

13. MutableList<String> languages = developers
.flatCollect(developer ->
Lists.mutable.ofAll(developer.getLanguages()))
.distinct();
System.out.println(languages);

14. List<Developer> developers = List.of(

new Developer("Meena", 24, Arrays.asList("Java", "Groovy", "Scala")),
new Developer("Mark", 28, Arrays.asList("Java", "JavaScript", "Groovy")));

15. List<Developer> developersYoungerThan30 = developers
.filter(developer -> developer.getAge() < 30);
System.out.println(developersYoungerThan30);

16. String namesOfDevelopers = developers
.map(developer -> developer.getName())
.intersperse(", ")
.reduce((v1, v2) -> v1 + v2);
System.out.println(namesOfDevelopers);

17. List<String> languagesKnown = developers
.map(developer -> developer.getLanguages())
.flatMap(Function.identity())
.distinct();
System.out.println(languagesKnown);

18. Mutable vs Immutable

19. Mutable vs Immutable
Java Streams
Implicit (Effectively Final)
Collections - mostly mutable
Eclipse Collections Explicit / Different APIs
Vavr Immutable only

20. Eager vs Lazy

21. Eager vs Lazy
Java Streams Lazy
Eclipse Collections Explicit / Different APIs
Vavr Explicit / Different APIs

22. Serial vs Parallel

23. Serial vs Parallel
Java Streams
Serial (default)
Easy to switch to Parallel
Eclipse Collections
Serial (default)
Limited support for Parallel
Vavr No support for Parallel

24. Streams Gotchas

25. Error Handling

26. Java Collections Inter-op

27. Fluency of API

28. https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse-collections/blob/master/docs/guide.md#-basic-collection-types

29. Container Factory
List Lists
Set Sets, HashingStrategySets
Bag Bags
Stack Stacks
SortedBag SortedBags
SortedSet SortedSets
Map Maps, HashingStrategyMaps
SortedMap SortedMaps
BiMap BiMaps
Multimap Multimaps
