    At 58:45 I make the completely false statement, "All this new stream stuff [in Java 8] is mutable." Actually, Java 8 streams do NOT change the underlying source data.

    What I wish I said was, "Stephen Chin's talk on Java 8 'Retro Gaming with Lambdas' was a highlight of the conference, but it horrified me when he showed how concurrent streams could break things in interesting ways. Concurrent streams do not mutate the underlying data, but neither can they cannot save you from the pitfalls of the mutation friendly programming style that most people currently use in Java."
