When I say I don't want closures. I meant I don't want any of the proposals in the main-line java language. If people want functional-language extentions to java put these in a different language. JavaF or something. The reason being if elaborate closures take over the language some of the community that have come to java to keep their solution simple will look for alternative platforms.
One of the problems with the closure debate I have is some people want syntatic sugar for inner classes and others want binding of variables. Isn't it a bit late in the day to try and redefine java's scoping? |
