    2. Write your own implementation of Streams and Optionals, compatible with RxJava and Guava

well that doesn't really scale at all though

Ok, in what way does it not "scale"?

I do this, you do this. We try to use each other's code. Now there's two competing implementations that are probably incompatible.

No one should expect everyone to do that. This is basic, platform level stuff, that Google should be providing, unless they want Android to stagnate and whither away.

Obviously. But by now most have accepted that Google is just unable to provide any reasonable solution to this, and built their own libraries.

Often (ButterKnife, NineOldAndroids, etc) even better than what Google themselves provide.
