I'd totally agree with the mentality bit, but it's not hard (although it can be unwieldly) to write functional-style code in Java if you're disciplined.

Imperative programmers will write imperative Scala, too.



By hard I just mean it's extremely verbose. (i.e. implementing interfaces for each anonymous function is annoying at best)
