This (and all that follows on it below with the use of
Optional::ifPresent
) isn't unarguably great. See Stuart Marks' explanation. Long story short: you're shortening code but trading an explicitnull
check for an object creation and an implicitnull
check. I don't have a problem with it, but I know some people wouldn't be enthused.There was a problem hiding this comment.

@ajs6f this is precisely the feedback I'm looking for. It's a bit unclear to me when
Optional
should be used, if at all in this code. That is, I'm not at all attached to the refactoring in this PR -- it is more an exercise in getting to know theOptional
class.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Well, so this is the thing. Here're some thoughts:
Some of the gains in brevity in the main code are lost by expanded test code. You're eventually losing a few dozen lines over a few hundred lines, so the real question is: is it clearer? That's a matter of taste. See below for further comment.

I am going to close this PR and view it as a practice exercise. I agree that it doesn't seem to add much in clarity.

I'd be looking harder at
Stream
. There's a lot of quick wins in that one.
