I used to dislike Java, then recently I discovered java streams, and some of the nice features with newer versions like more immutable types. After that I found Java a whole lot more enjoyable to use.

But in this case you didn't change your mind. You dislike old Java but like new Java.

Scala collection processing--and syntax--will, after not too long, quite possibly put you back to disliking Java. "Why do I have to keep asking for .stream()? Where is '_'??"

Same. Then I discovered Kotlin, which is really just a much improved Java, and my only regret is that there aren't more server side gigs available for it (yet).
