It's funny, because my opinion on Closures has changed quite a bit, since my first encounter. I was very skeptical in the beginning. Wouldn't the concise syntax of closures hurt the language in terms of readability and comprehensibility? I came to learn that you can get used to concise and thus more complex syntax. That doesn't mean it promotes readability, to the contrary. I still believe it hurts Java's readability a lot, but in order for Java to move on, Closures are necessary.
