Lambdas in Java Preview - Part 2: Functional Java
This is the second part in a series of blog posts (read part I) giving some practical examples of lambdas, how functional programming in Java could look like and how lambdas could affect some of the well known libraries in Java land. This part focusses on general functional programming techniques, which will be available through the addition of lambdas. Functional programming (although I still wouldn't consider Java a functional programming language) will make Java code more concise, more expressive and more readable in certain kinds of problem situations.
