Pelikan V Pustatine (tepo)point of view that Venkat articulates on he's very distinct style live-coding lessons is very different from other even champion graded language/framework advocates. The concept of simple monads like List or Optional used with Java streams really is paradigm shifting and we should really stop and listen, because it not only pleasure to hear from him, but also ups your code quality bigtime. stop null-check iffing, stop inner-looping and learn how to do things in the new functional-like style. it may not be very easy at the beginning, but this is the shift happening.
