Not just lambda functions, but functions period.

Java through 1.7 does not even have functions, the closest thing you can get is to write a class and give it a static method (which of course is not a closure).

AFAIK in Java 1.8 you still cannot define or call functions outside of a class. So it's still "noun based."
