Stream#generate() vs. iterate()

[Millies, Sebastian]

I'm a bit confused, perhaps it's just terminology:

In your post you say it returns an unordered stream. In what way can a sequential stream be unordered?

You might also do better with Stream.generate, since it creates an unordered stream:

     Stream.generate(generatorFunction)
                  .parallel()
                  ...
