title: Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) for Java
body: <p>I found several questions on SO regarding LINQ for Java e.g.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/346721/1944131">LINQ for Java tool</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/2008149/1944131">Is there something like LINQ for Java?</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However, those questions were asked around year 2008 - 2010. At that time Java language did not support necessary language feature like lambda expressions (as per <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/346735/1944131">Jon Skeet's answer</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Now when Java8 is about to emerge, and will probably provide features such as Lambda Expressions, do you think it is possible to have an LINQ for Java implementation / project soon? </p>
  
  <p>Did you hear about any project trying to fulfill that gap between Java and C#?</p>
