> I've almost never worked with a Java programmer who could actually write Java code using the OO features that the language is based around

I don't understand this. The language is based around primitive, flawed, simplistic OO features, right? Like "class Dog : Animal"? I never write code like that either, because it's bad practice. But you're saying they can't write code like that? Or that they don't use classes at all? How can you even write any Java that way?

> they don't use classes at all

As much as they can avoid it, yes. The only classes I ever see are those that are auto-generated from some JSON or ORM processing tool - everything else is a static function.

Unfortunately, a lot of Java programmers write imperative code in Java. Although I have seen "good" Java programmers write "good clean code", it's the exception, rather than the norm. Most of the good Java programmers that I know have moved on to better languages and platforms.

Would like to see a collection of good and bad Java code examples.
