There has been some discussion about adding closures to Java 7. Are they just Syntactic Sugar or do they serve a real need?
Closures appear to be useful for those who naturally program in a functional way, they should also encourage a more flexible way of programming.
However, I have yet to discover an example where the use of closures are either simpler or faster than using standard Java.

The page you were trying to reach could not be found: it may have been renamed or moved to another space, or the name you requested may be incomplete.

I'm sorry, but I'm voting this down, since sites not on port 80 do not work through many corporate firewalls.
