[FUNCTOR] How do we move on?
Hi,
Functor was a nice idea back in 2011, but I think we promoted it to proper prematurely. In the light of Java 8 and it’s functional programming support, it is questionable whether a component like functor is really needed anymore. So the question is: how do we get on from here? I see several options:
- move functor back to sandbox and see whether is catches attention some time
- move functor to dormant - nobody needs it anymore with Java 8 out of the door
- redefine the component to target Java 8 and explicitly provide utilities for the classes in the java.util.function package
My preference would be the last option. But I don’t see my self having a lot of time to work on this. But I’d be happy to see a group of dev forming who give this component a new direction.
Regards,
Benedikt

TBH I cleaned up more than I implemented, but okay. What happened was
we changed the nomenclature to better mesh with Java 8 and that pretty
much killed the momentum on the project, despite having been the right
thing to do. I wouldn't mind seeing a redefined component such as you
have suggested, but I don't know that we'd easily settle on a
direction for it.

Re: [FUNCTOR] How do we move on?
Posted by "Bruno P. Kinoshita" <ki...@apache.org>.
I'd like to have more time to work on [functor], but I think it more likely that I will jump to work on [text] and [jelly] in the next months. If I remember well, there were a few utility classes that even now with Java 8 are still missing from the language. These could either be ported to Lang or to the third option I think.
It could be moved to dormant or sandbox in the meantime, until anybody decides to work on it or port the classes to somewhere else.
Cheers
Bruno

There is no harm indeed :-) I would just look for something like that in
[lang], but that's just me ;-)

I don’t think we should put this stuff into [lang] for the following two reasons:
1. It will take a while (maybe years) until we move [lang] to Java 8. As far as I can remember we planned to wait with that until Lang 4.0
2. [lang] is about the java.lang package and we already have concurrent and reflect stuff in there. I don’t see why we should add stuff from java.util.function. I think it is a good think to have small, focused components. So what’s the harm in having a specific component for this?
