Thanks -- these have been extremely helpful so far.

Can you give us the date for the hack day?

The aspects of the API that are most changed since the last hack day are:

  - flatMap revamped
  - reduce/collect revamped
  - many methods on Stream (e.g., into(), groupBy()) moved into collect().

For example, what was
   .into(new ArrayList<>())

is now

   .collect(toList())

and what was

   .groupBy(classifierFn)

is now

   .collect(groupingBy(classifierFn))

where toList/groupingBy are static imported from Collectors.
