Exception handling in Java is often considered cumbersome and not very aesthetically appealing. In this session, we'll have a look at how functional languages deal with error handling and how we can adapt those approaches in the world of Java with Vavr.
Simply put, we'll see how can we avoid “throws” by using Optional, Try, Either and by leveraging type-driven-development in general.

I was longing for an intro on this subject, great talk.

An example comparing the normal approach and its functional sub would be nice.

If only java has a try expression, my life would be easier. 😌
