My company switched from 7 to 8 recently, and being able to use streams has been a colossal productivity boost.<p>I&#x27;m actually in the process of putting together a presentation on how to work magic with streams (because I&#x27;m one of the few people here who actually knows how to use them), and this will probably get a mention in a &quot;further reading&quot; slide, because it&#x27;s really well written.<p>It&#x27;s also inspired me to make a few slides focusing on the changes to Map and Comparator, which I wasn&#x27;t aware of until now.
