Re: Introducing Strongback, a Java library for FRC robots

Wow.

Just finished reading the Using Strongback online book, and I think it's the best thing I've read this week.

This is amazing, absolutely amazing. This is the only library where I have read the entire documentation and never once been disappointed or confused. The design philosophy page seemed too good to be true... Lambdas?! Immutability?! Function Chaining?!

About the only thing that could have made me happier would have been an officially maintained snippet file for neosnippet in vim

Dealing with Java/eclipse for FRC coming from the simplicity I had with Node.js and React with vim has been pretty annoying, but this will significantly ease my pain.

I can tell this must have been a good amount of work for you guys, and your result is 100% beautiful. To everyone on 4931 involved with creating Strongback, good work!

PM or email me if you need any contributors from other teams, I'd be glad to help.
