If you don’t like putting objects and classes on the left you can write

   import static example.Library.*;

And proceed to write in your main method

   var x = someFunction(6, ‘that’);

in a style like C, LISP, or ML. You can write a whole program (like the answer for a HackerRank problem) in a single file. The developers of Java have always respected the ML family and JDK17 incorporates pattern matching, records, algebraic types and and many other features that make functional programming fun.

The type erasure problem for generic classes goes away when you use generic methods; type inference works without limitation for generic methods and is great for defining APIs for internal domain-specific languages

   any(grammar,you.want(ifIt.parses(ON_THE_LEFT)));

the great thing about Java is a quality IDE is certain to support this programming style.

Any complaint that the internal DSL is too verbose can be attacked by the use of code generation which is straightforward to incorporate in a maven build and your IDE. (The LISPer is using code generation and you have to do it if you want to keep up.)
