Functions as first class objects in Java can be very useful in reducing code duplication, and despite Java's verbosity, they can even help to reduce the amount of boilerplate code and make code more clear.

The focus of this project is peas, which are rather like Java beans, and rather like Haskell's monads. They are a convention of modelling state by making new instances, or at least appearing to make new instances.

The project will initially be a placeholder for some functional programming utilities, then after some planning, the peas part will take shape.
