Last year Neal Gafter premiered his BGGA Closures proposal at JavaPolis. One year later Joshua Bloch presented his view on the Closures Controversy and why he feels that CICE is a more suitable approach. One way to look at the available proposals is to consider the impact on Java as a language: whether it's possible to undergo fundamental change while still preserving the 'Feel of Java'.

Although I think some examples are rather contrived (and according to Gafter some are even incorrect) this is a great presentation to watch.

I'm totally argee with Joshua. Those who want closures should consider to use Scala.

I think you are missing the point, he is not arguing that we should leave Java alone in reference to closures. In fact, he makes a very good case for them, just in a more lightweight approach than the BGGA proposal.
