* _Function composition and adaptation (e.g., composing imperative functions with reactive)._
* _Support for reactive function with multiple inputs and outputs allowing merging, joining and other complex streaming operation to be handled by functions._

Spring Cloud Function has 4 main features:
1. Wrappers for `@Beans` of type `Function`, `Consumer` and
`Supplier`, exposing them to the outside world as either HTTP
endpoints and/or message stream listeners/publishers with RabbitMQ, Kafka etc.
2. Compiling strings which are Java function bodies into bytecode, and
then turning them into `@Beans` that can be wrapped as above.

3. Deploying a JAR file containing such an application context with an
isolated classloader, so that you can pack them together in a single
JVM.
