I've tested it today.
It works well, no crash for the whole day (x64 linux), only one annoying 
thing, the auto-completion in lambda body often raise an error in a 
dialog box even if you don't press ctrl+space. The lambda syntax, the 
method reference syntax and the default methods are well recognized, the 
semantics is mostly ok, desugared lambdas inside interfaces are not 
generated :(
