Streams are great for declarative data processing, but they are not always the best fit.
Avoid forcing streams when:
- the logic is heavily stateful or mutation-driven
- the code becomes harder to read than a simple loop
- debugging step-by-step behavior is more important than fluent chaining
- performance depends on tight imperative control
Choose the approach that keeps the code clearest for the problem at hand.
