We Indians are more than SMART

This is a prime example of when NOT to use stream also how the fuck do you pronounce that name

@Torbuntu aha laquamarine gotcha thanks

@jalebiBhai my initial guess was "lacque-minor-xayah" haha, thanks

@BindView As an Indian, even i am finding hard to pronounce the name xD

@BindView lucks me nur (nursery) psy ah

it is hard for me too, to get the part after 'S'

You could use "optional". For example ifpresent or getifpresent etc. when using stream api.

Coming from Haskell, it would be something like: getById i = listToMaybe $ id >>> (== i)

Yup that's a list filter, comparison, a "get first", and an optional return type... and can be applied to any data structure with an id.

@BindView Issac Daniel is a pretty simple name tbh

@bittersweet if i ever see you using Maybe i will kick you in the balls (:

@BindView What's wrong with Maybe?

@bittersweet its so inconsistent. No it doesnt cause problems (haskell💚) but come on, its like you dont know the code you write.

@BindView Maybe is godsend when interacting with external data.

Database, fetch me the first user who loves the color pink — database query function responds with "sure thing I'll look for it, and MAYBE I'll find you one".

Maybe is a superior "result or null". It's an exception which doesn't need to be thrown or caught. It's the simplest monad, and the easiest way to start understanding monads.
