Closures have nothing to do with static vs. dynamic typing. I think we all agree that Java itself should stay static. But some of us would like closures, too, instead of having to continue doing insane code duplication or workarounds. I'm also a big TOOWTDI person, and closures (ideally with continuations for turning things into external generators) are the way to do it.
