TheseFoolishThings · This project is a collection of miscellaneous tools shared by a number of projects of the same author. There are **simple tuples** to use with Java Streams, **type-safe maps** ([inspired by the heterogeneous map pattern](https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2861454&seqNum=8)) described in Effective Java by Joshua Bloch, a **finder** that handles in a smart way queries to data sources, a facility to use the **DCI (Data, Context and Interactions) architectural pattern**, a simple **message bus** suitable for using the pub-sub pattern inside an application, some **test utilities**, an **experimental actor framework** and a few other small things. Yes, the project name is a tribute to the [jazz standard with the same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/These_Foolish_Things_(Remind_Me_of_You)) by Maschwitz and Strachey.
