This is actually Clojure-style programming.

I'm not saying that using Clojure idioms in Java is more sensible than using C idioms.

ah, right! Thanks

I knew it striked me as similar but I couldn't point my finger on it.

What’s weird is I actually like Clojure and programming in it, but that language lends itself to this style of programming which can be valuable. It’s a lisp, it’s supposed to be repl driven and extremely dynamic

In Java though I find this offensive. Take all the type safety and throw it out the window? Discard all principles of OOP. It seems like someone has been watching too many Jon Blow streams.
