lambda prototype - second milestone

[Ali Ebrahimi]

Hi Maurizio,
Thanks for your hard works, this is awesome!

finally, now i can compile and run this code.

public class Test
{
   public static class Customer {
      public String getName() { return "";}
   }

   public static interface StringSorter<T> {
      abstract T value(T val);
   }

   public static interface Select<R, A> {
      public R select(A val);
   }

   public static class DBSet<T>  {
      public <U> DBSet<U> select(Select<U,T> x) {return new DBSet<U>();}
      public DBSet<T> sortedByStringAscending(StringSorter<T> x) {return
this;}
   }

   public static DBSet<Customer> allCustomer()
   {
      return new DBSet<Customer>();
   }

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      DBSet<String> result = allCustomer()
         .select(#{c -> c.getName()})
         .sortedByStringAscending(#{str -> str});
   }
}

Best Regards,
Ali Ebrahimi
