Introduction to Method Handles tutorial

[smthelusive]

Method Handles article ready for review.

[danthe1st]

Here are some opinions on that article. I am an outside contributor and I don't have any authority over this repository.

I noticed quite a few lines ending with a single space. Is this deliberate?
When introducing methods (e.g. in the Lookup, MethodHandle or MethodHandles classes), it might be a good idea to link Javadocs.

Hey Nataliia,

I briefly left a few comments, but would also like to add the following general ones:

• Please add links to JavaDoc for respective classes or methods.
• Could you please add a bio similar to the one from JFall? 😄

[smthelusive]

Hi @danthe1st and @ammbra, thank you both for the reviews.
I'll rework where I can or otherwise come back with questions 😃

[smthelusive]

Hi @ammbra and @danthe1st,

I have pushed the changes with your comments addressed, could you please check?

Along with your suggestions I have also reordered some sections: the Method handles vs Reflection section mentions Method Handle transformations, so I thought it would be better to have the section about transformations before that. This way the readers already have some context about it.
Also, talking about reflection looks like a good thing to do at the end :)

[danthe1st]

Thank you for your changes. I have commented on minor things I noticed while reading through your changes.

[danthe1st]

While reading through your article again, I found a few things that could possibly be reworded.

[smthelusive]

Thanks @danthe1st! I have pushed the changes.

[danthe1st]

Thank you for this article and the changes you have made. For what I am concerned, this article looks good.

[ammbra]

Hi Nataliia,

Thank you so much for updating the article. I left some small comments/suggestions, but overall is great work.

We're close!! After these last comments are resolved I think we'll look to get this merged!

[ammbra]

Hi Nataliia,

Thank you so much for your patience. I corrected some of typos and left one suggested. Would also like to request from you some changes for the conclusion (sorry for not catching this earlier).

[smthelusive]

Hi @ammbra, thank you for the review and your help with fixes. I have made the changes, please let me know if it looks good or more adjustment required.

[danthe1st]

I read through the article again and wrote down a few things I noticed.

[carimura]

Hi @smthelusive if you give me access to push commits I can go in and clean a few things up and help get this merged. I think we've gone back and forth long enough and I thank you for your patience and commitment to getting this over the line!

[smthelusive]

Thank you for your help @carimura, I have sent you an invite. I'm still willing to fix whatever is missing, so feel free to leave anything on me, I will get to it as soon as I can.

[carimura]

OK I added a few grammar edits and reduced a few lines of code that felt repeated in the same section. Good from my end! I see @ammbra left a few comments that I think are still unresolved (I agree the conclusion could be a bit stronger) but other than that, we should be good to go! If you @smthelusive are busy this week (what remains of it :) ) we might be able to assist Friday and get things merged.

[smthelusive]

Hi @carimura, I have resolved the leftover comments that I found.
The one from @ammbra about the conclusion I have fixed earlier but forgot to mark it as resolved.
Could you please advice on how I can improve the conclusion?

Also, thanks everyone for helping me out :)

[ammbra]

Looks great. Thank you.
