Functional programming features are demonstrated in three different JVM-based languages. Examples include how lambda expressions, method references, and streams are handled differently, as well as higher-order functions, closure composition, trampolining, currying, tail recursion, and more. Kotlin, Groovy, and Java are all object-oriented languages with functional features. It&#x27;s interesting to see what capabilities they implemented in similar ways and which are unique to that language.GitHub repository: <a href="https://github.com/kousen/java_groovy_kotlin" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/kousen/java_groovy_kotlin</a>Bio: Ken Kousen is a Java Champion, a Grails Rock Star, and a JavaOne Rock Star.
