There has been a lot of chatter about the closures proposal penned by Neal Gafter. And, in particular, whether or not I support it. I absolutely do. My "Feel of Java" talk of many years ago got rather infamously twisted at JavaPolis a couple of months ago. Java feels alive, not stuck in some chisel marks on stone tablets.

Merely because Gosling supports them doesn't mean they should go into Java.
Neal M Gafter replied ago:
Agreed. There are much more compelling reasons than the mere fact of Gosling's support.

Personally I don't think closures are a good idea in Java. They rock in Ruby, but in Java it is a lot more complex. Why not create a java version that includes this feature (like linux-mm) so that developers can play with it, and if it works well put it into the main Java release.
