Re: [january-dev] FW: January: Streams for slicing after lunch

[Ian Mayo <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt, I personally value January remaining at 1.7, since I'm still
using Eclipse 3.8.2 (for rendering performance & UI consistency
reasons).

Each year I try/review the 4.x release, and look forward to the time
when I can move over, and adopt the new Java 1.8 features.

Ian.
