So I thought I'd take some time to share with Javascript developers some reasons why...

Java 8 was released to the world in March 2014. For the last decade, Liferay has been creating tools for users to build crafted, powerful solutions leveraging the Java 8 ecosystem.

If we have more than one environment (DEV, UAT, PROD), we have to do this manual operation in each...
