Too terse and too alien?

[Paul Benedict]

Right on, Jesse.

I will not be writing a dissertation to prove why something "feels"
like Java or not. I get closures are new and so new conventions must
exist, but I don't think my opinion is any less valid. There are
reasons hackles are being raised over the Internet over the proposal
-- the proposal easily violates Java's simplicity philosophy, in my
opinion, of course. There's no "proof" for that other than one's
internal perspective.
