I think it shows it in its worst light, when others show examples it is OK I guess... I guess I am more interested in the semantics given that other languages are far more useful to me (and interesting as well) thus interop matters if this will be used in JDK apis. Otherwise it is really hard to c

Ew, this reeks of "making the compiler-writer's job easy". There must be a nicer solution, even within the narrow guidelines of the problem. Even Obj-C's blocks are nicer than this (in Syntax at least). On 31 May 2010 15:58, Michael Neale wrote: > > http://www.baptiste-wicht.com/2010/05/oracle-p

Here's a very short rundown on the official syntax, with a link to the last known proposal at the end. The current status quo isn't, as far as I know, 100% the same as the 'official' proposal, because a new version of the spec hasn't been released in months. There's also been an encyclopedia's wort
