I'm mainly a Java developer these days, and in general, I like the language, although they need to pick up a few features to reduce the boiler plate code that's required, although most IDE's will take care of most of it. There are places though, that absolutely scream for Lamda functions. As with most features, I think it will work out quite well as long as people don't abuse the FP aspects and use them where aren't the optimal solution for readability.
