This. I wouldn't even just call it Javaland though, the Ruby world is like this now too. My favorite part about my journey into functional programming so far has been that I don't need to stay up to date on whatever the talking heads of OOP are preaching these days. Seriously, give functional programming a shot. It isn't as scary or esoteric as you might think.
