When will closures be present in Java language?

[Rogerio Kioshi]

When?

[Bear Bibeault]

Clojure is a language. What do mean when will it be present in Java? It's like asking when C++ will be present in Java. Makes no sense.

Or are you asking when the concept of closures will be added to Java?

I think what is meant is the latter question. Am I right Rogerio?

Actually it was closures what I meant to say, indeed.

OK, I've adjusted the topic title accordingly.

Yes, it is going to be part of Java 8. See this: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/lambda/
