what do you think about it?

The term of "pure" in object orientation is a little subjective and not quite well defined in practice.Java is not actually a pure object oriented programming language since it needs primitives. The only way you can yield a pure programming language with no primitives is not even having the notion of defining concrete terms in a programming language since it doesn't have primitives in it.Smalltalk is such an example of a pure OOP language.

If you consider the fact that Java has types that aren't objects, such as ints and floats, then Java isn't a pure object oriented language like for example Smalltalk[^].
