How has sequenced collections changed in recent Java versions?

Sequenced collections in Java have evolved significantly in recent versions, particularly with the introduction of the Stream API in Java 8 and enhancements in later versions. With these changes, developers can now manipulate collections in a more functional style, enabling more concise and readable code.

New interfaces and classes, such as List.of() and Set.of(), have been introduced to provide immutable collections with ease of use. Additionally, improvements to existing collections include methods that allow for better performance and usability.
