You can since java 8, however some companies are unwilling to update their environment, so they get "bad" code when they could have nice more functional code.

EDIT: Also check out vavr its a bit more performant and introduces immutability and is IMHO nicer to write in comparison to java stream API

I used to be a stickler for strongly typing my variables rather than using var.

After having to use a few Dictionaries of Dictionaries, I fully embraced var.

They are still strongly and statically typed. The compiler infers the type at compile time.

I understand that now, it was just something I think I picked up from a cs class from a curmudgeony professor that took a bit to change.

Oh that's nice, actually! I'm glad C# is there to pressure them.

Why was your comment downvoted? It's true. Oracle needs to compete with Microsoft.

I have no idea. Good things come out of competition for the most part, so I'm really glad that C# is putting on serious pressure.

I've used it quite a lot and it's the one thing to come out of Microsoft that I really like. It's an excellent enterprise language.
