declarative programming

Hello Patrick,

Thanks for reacting. Closures AFAIK will be part of JDK 8 and that spec is not final (e.g. http://java.dzone.com/articles/oracle-leaning-heavily-towards?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter <http://java.dzone.com/articles/oracle-leaning-heavily-towards?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter>). And closures are not part of project Coin, which are small changes to the Java environment, but a change on its own.

If this ís the mailing for the closures that are to be part of JDK 8, then it is the mailing list I intended to post to; I want some feedback on the way the "final" problem is being solved for closures (since they are based on single methods anonymous inner classes) and if it will work on anonymous constructors.
