Response to: Closures once again...


My main point is not to oppose specifically closures, but the sheer amount of suggested language changes all together and that there is no end in sight. But anyway I think the closure proposal from Mr Gafter is overly complex and would repeat the story of Generics where much to much complexity has been added for too little gain.

I think language changes should be an exception not a rule and should be thought about very well. Therefore I do not think that it is clever to quickly include language changes in Java 7. This release should focus on deployment and removal of bugs. Meanwhile we can observe C# how the numerous features behave in the wild.
