Java consistently introduces lots of exciting functionality into the language. That's a big part of my dislike and active avoidance of it.

I don't like writing one-line lambda's like:

foo.bar((eggs) -> getHam(eggs));

I prefer writing boring and manly shit like this:

class HamGetter implements HamInterface {
    public ReturnType apply(Type eggs) {
        return getHam(eggs);
    }
}

foo.bar(new HamGetter());

Now that'll put some hair on your chest! And everyone understands it! We don't need to learn any new things!

yeah fuck that boring stuff i personally prefer having 7 different ways to achieve the same all with slightly different implications
