Apart from the boilerplate enclosing class (4 lines, vs 2 in C), you can write a C-style program without classes in Java. There is literally nothing stopping you and generics are helping you significantly for this.
That's completely true, but I just don't like the boiler plate. It's not hugely important to the grand scheme of things, but the more barriers I have from writing a function to running code, the less I want to deal with the toolchain/language in the first place.
