Java is working in different constraints. Java shops don’t move at the pace of JavaScript shops. These developers are looking for an actual work/life balance.

Java is working in different constraints. Java shops don’t move at the pace of JavaScript shops. These developers are looking for an actual work/life balance. Not looking for shake shit up. So Java lambdas, being little more than syntax sugar over an already existing concept in Java, works well for them. They get new sugar and don’t have to rewrite a bunch of old code for it. Anyway. Personally, I tend to get really annoyed with developers trying to use a language outside of its paradigm. Trying to write functional C is moronic just like trying to write procedural Haskell is moronic.
