I’ve seen a similar effect in myself and others at work but I don’t think it’s only a symptom of the language. After we switched from java 6 to 8 a handful of devs including myself went overboard modeling problems to be solved with streams API when it wasn’t necessary. These days it’s leveled out and use of the api is on a much more appropriate level.

I think this is a process of learning. While learning a new tool you start to model problems so you can practice, even though not necessary. Once comfortable you realize when to use the tool and when not.
