kotlin probably has a extension function for Optional to unpack it into a Nullable

imagine a multiplatform project with
expect fun getSomeData(): Data?
then the actual declaration can use some java library that gives them a Optional Result, unpack it and the common code is happy it does not know about Optional types

Ah! ok, for the Java Optional I would suggest using a different Option type that can be used across 🙂
And allows to do more things than a basic map and reduce hehe
