Simpler Java closure syntax proposal
I'm not a language lawyer by any stretch of the imagination, but this looks to be a much nicer proposal for closures in Java without all the need for syntactical and VM gymnastics.

Finally a closure proposal that actually makes sense. It's just too bad BGGA seems to have so much momentum.

Get this proposal quick to JCP and OpenJDK 7 and be done with this.

Before people get carried away - this proposal does not support delayed evaluation of a closure, and as such can't be used in many scenarios where closures are used in other languages. Concurrency API?
So it's not half as powerful as BGGA, I mean it is nice that people are creative with language proposals, but let's just chill down the excitement.
