Functional programming is baked into Scala, rather than bolted on as in Java 8, and there are lots of mature Scala libraries that make good use of these features already. But obviously there are going to be lots of other factors that determine your choice of programming language for a given project - available skills, legacy code, interoperability, tools, etc. Lambda functions are probably not going to be the key factor in making this decision. Personally I much prefer Scala, but YMMV!
