Yeah, I don't particularly like Java either, and it's procedural. But I'm glad these well-known procedural languages are starting to pick up functional aspects, as we'll see in the next post.

Imperative is procedural and Java primarily follows the object oriented paradigm(hence OOP). My problem with Java is that it is too verbose when compared with the alternatives like Kotlin, Scala or even Dart. Java's implementation of things is fairly bad in most cases as well. I am glad that some of the most popular languages are starting to get functional features but Java's functional features are fairly flimsy and not well implemented. Java streams are mutable for instance which is actually a really bad design decision. There are plenty of other things that really make no sense with Java 8 which was the main version where they added all these functional patterns.

Just realized I misread your initial response. I thought you were saying Java was functional ha ha, my mistake!

Its not a problem hah. Anyways, good post. Also, regardless of my own opinion on java; there is a reason why its is the most used language in the world; its fast and it can be good if written well.
