What Hacker News says?
Ideally we want something like class Stream<T> { <R, X> Stream<R> map( Function<? super T, ? extends R, throws X> mapper ) throws X } and if you pass a function that throws, say, IOException and SQLException, then X=IOException|SQLException and that's what that call to #map throws. You can sort of do it by http://natpryce.com/articles/000738.html but you have to choose one base type and you can't make stdlib support…

HN discussionA license like this has two red flags. I previously worked in a programme providing corporate governance of open source. It's a fairly big industry with companies like Black Duck helping companies manage their legal risks, and licenses like this aren't popular. Firstly, it's non-standard.

HN discussionToo bad that 1.0 will ship without something like Scala Future's. Now you can only have a similar functionality with CompletableStage. It would've been way better to actually have a similar implementation than scala.Future. I mean they wouldn't need Quasar, Akka for basic stuff. However currently you need to stick to Java pendants. Kotlin has some great things, but overall I still prefer Scala over Kotlin for anythi…
