I just meant to say that we live with the limitations of the language at hand, and when programming in Java its limitations are just a part of the landscape. While its lambdas may not match the power of Scala's closures, you are working with a conceptually simpler syntax as a result. This empowers more workaday programmers to get the job done. Java's weakness for the adept functional programmer may be an organizational strength in the world that pays salaries.

I hope that didn't come out quite as you meant it as well. I'd resent 
any implication that people who use Java in their daily work are just 
too dumb to grasp functional programming. I don't think functional 
programming is any "harder" than, say, OO programming, imperative style 
programming, Horn clause logic, what not. It's just a question of 
education, i. e. good teaching, but not of inherent difficulty. 
Java-programmers-are-stupid had nothing to do with the decisions taken 
in Project Lambda. But it has always been clear that Java was not to be 
made into a functional programming language.

Nevertheless, ideas from FP can give one new and useful perspectives on 
how to solve some problems in Java. And it can also give one a better 
feeling for what Java's limitations are in that respect. Anyone can 
understand enough of the basics of FP and acquire the skill of reading 
an FP language like Haskell and start experimenting.

Well, this remark has been entirely off-topic for this conversation. I 
apologize,

Sebastian
