+- Java 8 lambda-friendly API
 - fixed API mistakes and many limits of RxJava 2
 - intended to be a replacement for RxJava 2 with relatively few binary incompatible changes
-- Java 8 lambda-friendly API
 - non-opinionated about the source of concurrency (threads, pools, event loops, fibers, actors, etc.)
 - async or synchronous execution
 - virtual time and schedulers for parameterized concurrency

-If your platform doesn't support Java 8 lambdas (yet), you have to create an inner class of `Consumer` manually:
-
-```java
-import io.reactivex.rxjava3.functions.Consumer;
-
-Flowable.just("Hello world")
-  .subscribe(new Consumer<String>() {
-      @Override public void accept(String s) {
-          System.out.println(s);
-      }
-  });
-```

 Note that RxJava 3 components now live under `io.reactivex.rxjava3` and the base classes and interfaces live under `io.reactivex.rxjava3.core`.
