The Power and Practicality of Immutability by Venkat Subramaniam

[@sriganeshnagaraj9626]

Very good question and answer at 50:23

[@andersonmontanez8318]

Congratz Mr Venkat, your talks are always a sea a knowledge :)

[@bawaparampreet24]

he goofs up the example performance of imperative vs declarative.

[@crabsynth3480]

What do u mean? Could u mention the time and what was goofed up?

[@reallylordofnothing]

@@crabsynth3480 he wanted to show that stream calls a collection of functions on each piece of data as opposed to imperative which calls functions on collection of data but both yellow stickers are the same, so not sure what he was trying to say there.

[@chordfunc3072]

39:50 Awesome had to try it in dart and with Rx observables :p

[@reallylordofnothing]

Could you explain what is the difference between the two yellow sticky notes? they both are the same, so how did he explain the distinction between functions on all your data and collection of functions on each piece of data?

[@madhukiranattivilli2321]

@46:00 -- "Impure code" line #13 "factor[0] = 0;" would be executed only after the stream methods pipeline on lines 10-11 ends. If so, how is the value of 0 going into the body of Function.apply() for factor[0] but not 2? I understand why this is called impure code, but in this particular context -- this is confusing! Anyone understood the inner meaning?

[@pritishnayak]

Streams do not start running the pipeline until there's something collecting from them. In the example, venkat gave, the stream started collection on line 15 because forEach is a terminal operation.

[@madhukiranattivilli2321]

@@pritishnayak Yes. Thanks for writing I realized this that day itself. Forgot to remove my msg :) Initially I didn't notice that stream object was assigned on line 10.

[@eldiosdelcielo]

needless to say u rock

[@ssougnez]

Man, that was awesome....

[@ILyaCyclone]

Great talk, thanks a lot for the speaker.

[@swatibhatt9509]

As mentioned in 20:52 , Can you please explain how are you achieving thread safety using stream?

[@armansingh3405]

concurrentCollections would be used internally when relying on collectors with parallel streams.

[@tarunpahuja3443]

I think point is stream uses lamba and lamba mandate variable to be effectively final.

[@Rajs4u]

Why to unfriend from FB if any body using goto 😂😂

[@bg8048]

In the immutable example of factor shown here. Is it good practise to assign the factor to another local variable so that function remains pure as long as code doesn't have any other dependencies on that local variable ?

[@orel1996]

Great lecture thank you

[@trinhduyhung8211]

There seems to be something wrong with the increment method at 12:50. Anybody with me?

[@duhudu]

what do you mean? It's simply incrementing the passed value by 1 and passing the incremented value to next call stack.

[@surendrabisht2523]

great.

[@leonk6950]

What is that editor with the live-evaluation of java?

[@saloalvStuff]

This gets posted on every one of his talks. According to other commenters, it's TextMate, a Mac OS X exclusive editor.

[@USONOFAV]

How can you make your Object immutable when you pass it along in your java 8 stream pipeline? Would it be ok to mutate object within the stream pipeline functions since only one thread will execute the whole pipeline?

[@dislikepineapples]

I think usually you will create a new refence with the mutation applied to it, but I am a beginner to functional programming, so I am not sure.

[@richardlyons7408]

For summing even numbers, why is he multiplying each even number by 2?

[@赵云-z7z]

Why did he take off his shoes?

[@ebuzertahakanat]

why not?

[@sushabh123]

25:11 totally relatable. Hahhaa

[@vjmonik4792]

Great insights. Two suggestions 1. Take a little complex examples. Everything he talks is about arrays and for loops. 2 he needs to be more crisp in his talks and videos can be half length. He repeats things too many times.

[@willingtushar]

all good but the way he's pronouncing immutability, is something I can't handle
