Can we make working with functions easier in Java 8?

Hi, I’m been using Java 8 and having used Scala in the past, am pleased to find a library that allows me to almost have the same functionality in Java. I’ve also seen another library Javaslang. I’m perplexed about what the difference is between using Cyclops and Javaslang as they seem to have many complimentary features. Is Cyclops another FP library for Java 8 but with better interops between Java 8 API itself and other FP libraries such as Javaslang?

On another note I’d like to say I’ve been most impressed with your blog outlining the FP concepts missing from Java 8. I’ve found them very useful.

Finally are there any performance metrics to compare the use of Cyclops against vanilla Java 8?
