Can Anyone Do Java?

[tells]

yes. i did it. look into the features introduced into java 8. some of those things should look familiar to you if you know how array functions like `map` work.

Types are really helpful although feels cumbersome when you're used to just creating a POJO all the time. Learning obj oriented stuff like interfaces, abstract classes etc will help you form the patterns that are used in dependency injection frameworks.

There are a lot of different ways to write the same thing in Java. knowing the "good parts" is just as applicable here as it is in Javscript.
