lambda syntax tutorial

[Mikael Grev]

I must say that I really like the direction this is heading. Clearly there's now an emphasis on usability at the user side and this is great. I think the reception will be much better by the community with all the simplicity added. Some of the early syntaxes were really not that good IMO. The power also seems to be in the sweet spot. 

Keep it up guys!

I am very much in favor of adding proper properties to Java as well (not just simple getter/setter generation). In comparison to lambdas it would be a breeze and for my type of coding it would have a much bigger impact actually. I can only hope it's being considered for Java 8.

Cheers,
Mikael

As usual, the document does *not* imply that the currently implemented syntax is also the final one - the aim of this document is to simply help developers working with the lambda prototype.
