I've been gravitating more toward Groovy day by day anyway. Regarding closures, I never really liked most of the proposals. I’ve been gravitating more toward Groovy day by day anyway.

He talks about closures a little. Well, I don’t think anyone from Sun would listen to me. :) But, you can listen to this JavaPosse interview with Danny Coward (who would create the Java SE 7 JSR).

I'd love to know what they make of this whole closures debate, if they are even aware of it? Hi Alex, I don’t suppose you happen to have the ear of someone at Sun.
