@keystonelemur @steshaw @BrandonBloom @ambrosebs Java has a reputation of implementing almost-useful ideas. I suspect impractical TCO impl.

@dibblego @steshaw @BrandonBloom @ambrosebs Shortly thereafter a Guava variant to make it look pretty.

@keystonelemur @steshaw @BrandonBloom @ambrosebs Guava is crap. http://functionaljava.org 

@dibblego @keystonelemur @steshaw @ambrosebs Sheesh. Talk about swimming upstream. Working with the grain produces better results.

@BrandonBloom @keystonelemur @steshaw @ambrosebs Functional Java is the best it gets for Java. This is how we won the war against stupidity.

@dibblego @BrandonBloom @steshaw @ambrosebs After a certain point, may as well go with Scala or Clojure. Nice option if you're stuck though.

@keystonelemur @BrandonBloom @steshaw @ambrosebs The only point you'd use Java is if you have colleagues insane enough to think it is useful

@dibblego @keystonelemur @steshaw @ambrosebs You're preaching to the Clojure choir, but I'd take loops & ifs over that inner class madness.
