Java JEP 461: Stream Gatherers

That's just the way Rust does things, like with the `rand` crate. Lean stdlib, easy dependency management. For the purposes of "does Rust do X", popular crates should be included in that consideration.

Ok, so then what is this discussion about? Java Streams have existed basically forever, as a 3rd party library, but that doesn't matter here in our conversation about Java language features, where 3rd party libraries somehow changes what the language is...

I guess it's nice for Java that they did this, but the OP's assertion that no other language handles this as nicely doesn't really stand. For example, this quote:

> In other mature languages, streams are very rigid and feel non-composable

I'd like to see some motivating examples that make me say to myself, "Yeah, Java's got a neat trick there".
