Talk:

Subject: Closures in Java - Comparing the choices

Speakers: Stephen Colebourne, Sun Java Champion

Abstract:


'Closures' are one of the hottest topics in the Java community right
now. The debate is over whether some form of closures would be a
useful and worthwhile addition to the Java programming language in
version 7.

This talk will explain what a closure is and compare the three main
proposals - BGGA, FCM and CICE. After attending you will be able to
form your own opinions on whether Java should be changed, and which
proposal is the way to go.
