All except first class functions are found in Java. I don't think many people would claim Java is an FP language.

  I think the discussion is in danger of going the way of a Möbius strip... Language features originating in FP have been adopted by GP languages, which was the point :)

    But those features were found in Java 1.0 so the influence can't be that strong, given it was heavily advertised as an object oriented language at the time.

      From the list, only GC was in early Java. GC was popularized by Lisp (was added in the 60s?) and other FP languages like ML (had gc from the start in 1973) decades before.
