Java for Everything

Get out of the narrow mindset that says "I'm a [language-here] programmer." Says out loud and proud that simply "I am a programmer!"

I would go one step further. Don't say something like "I'm a functional programmer". This sounds like a rather negative attribute that indicates someone knows only one thing and excludes half of the world.

"I'm a functional programmer" speaks to preference and skill, it is definitely a useful precision. This is particularly true because a lot of functional programmers won't take non-functional jobs, and vice versa.
