That's actually a very fair point - when it comes to usability with respect to the functional style, sometimes less is more. I think C# is actually a pretty good example of a pragmatic language that offers FP to make your life easier, but doesn't beat you over the head with it. If I could choose between Java and C# purely on the basis of the language, there is no question that I'd choose C#.
