I haven't used C or C++ in the last 10 years, so I'm a bit rusty. Java has a rich ecosystem, and although I use OO in my coding, I also like to bring in Functional Programming concepts where possible. So that means favoring immutablility, and marking methods as 'static' when they don't need to rely on any state from class instances.

I want to use it, but I can't understand why it's missing this *one* important feature???
