Here’s Suns position on Delegates years ago. Curious, aren't lambda's and delegates the same thing?
*Extract from white paper* “The newest version of the Microsoft Visual J++ development environment supports a language construct called *delegates *or *bound method** references*. … It is unlikely that the Java programming language will ever include this construct. … bound method references are unnecessary and detrimental to the language…. bound method references are *harmful *because they detract from the simplicity of the Java programming language and the pervasively object-oriented character of the APIs. “ *The full article can be found here* http://java.sun.com/docs/white/delegates.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
