I disagree, it is some developers. Just as some developers can create a big ball of magic code dynamic code or as some developers can make insanely cryptic code in Scala/Haskell that looks like the user is typing in windings. Java 8 and the current ecosystem can be incredibly lean and devoid of high levels of abstraction. Like today how I took the lovely Sinatra inspired http://sparkjava.com/ http://sparkjava.com/ out for a spin. I think if Java can shed the memory of it's horrible past (and the enterprise space was truly bad) then it has a lot to offer developers these days.
