Is LINQ-like API considered to be included in JDK?

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi,

There are currently no plans to do. Babylon can enable library developers to implement LINQ-like APIs. Near term such efforts are importing to provide feedback to Babylon. Longer term library developers are empowered to do their own thing, without the heavy design, release, and support constraints of the Java platform. Over time we can look at what library developers do. Maybe some key aspects of such libraries could be brought into the JDK, but it’s far too early to say what, if any, at the moment.

Paul.

I know that jdk prefers to ship APIs with features that utilize them (like streams and optionals with lambdas), so I figured there is a pretty significant chance this could be an intention
