The next tutorial in the Java 101 series will introduce method references, which you can combine with lambda expressions to write even more concise, readable Java code.

One of the recurrent, valid criticisms of Java as a programming language is that it is wordy. You have to write a lot of code to get anything done. Lambda expressions relieve that problem for some ...

but the real question is how these mathematical concepts translate into Java. When you first learn to use lambda expressions, sometimes it’s easier to assign the lambda expression to the interface ...

At the same time, we want to maximize the benefits. If you look at the Comparator example implemented with a lambda expression in Java, you can’t debate that the code is much more concise and compact.
