Lambdas Memes

Oh, the absolute TREACHERY! You open up Java thinking you're getting some sweet functional programming goodness with lambdas and streams, but SURPRISE—it's still drowning in classes, objects, and inheritance hierarchies like it's 1995. That shocked cat face? That's every developer who thought they could escape OOP hell only to realize that Java's "functional" features are basically just fancy decorations on a very object-oriented cake. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still gonna oink in Java bytecode, baby.

Someone's waxing poetic about "old tech" while showing off a shiny red Qosmio laptop, and then there's Java 8 sitting in the corner like the neglected middle child of programming languages. The crying cat meme perfectly captures the existential crisis of Java developers who watched other technologies get praised while Java 8 (released in 2014!) was treated like that weird uncle nobody talks about at family gatherings. Despite introducing lambdas and streams that dragged Java kicking and screaming into modern programming, it still gets none of the nostalgic love. The tech equivalent of "we have Java at home."
