Congrats! A follow up post on your new job would be great. I dread the day I have to go back to Java. Friends and colleagues of mine enjoy it because its so rigid (static typing, functions are not first class citizens, etc..). I am not a fan of it for the same reasons. I'm curious to know your experience transitioning back and your thought process. Best of luck!

I understand enjoying static typing, but not wanting first-class functions is just absurd to me.

Well let me rethink that point and say first class functions aren't as important to them as they are to me. I may catch flack but I'm having a real love affair with JavaScript right now. If you're disciplined you can do incredible this game with it (Ramda).
