Advanced Topics In Programming Languages: Closures For Java

Over five years later and Java still doesn't have closures. Thankfully, Scala has closures and it runs on the JVM.
[2012-03-19 07:13:43] mphello - The ONLY times in ...The ONLY times in my life that I enjoyed and did well in programming were in my 3 formal computer science courses in college: 1 in Fortran (1981) and 2 in C++ (2005). Outside that very formal structured education, I NEVER programmed. The only thing that I took away from C++ is an appreciation of object-oriented thinking, which has inspired me to write my own math models, but NOTHING to do directly with computers. Bottom line: I LOVE math proofs, LOVE math modeling, HATE computer programming.
[2012-03-19 07:10:42] mphello - Amen! I'm trying to ...Amen! I'm trying to learn it now. I read a huge book on it - by Dietel and Dietel (2003) called "How to Program" - from beginning to end. Bright colorful book. At the end of it, I have ZERO clue how to program.

[2011-08-07 22:53:42] smasterross - Just so everyone ...Just so everyone knows, when Neal begins to talk about closables at 1:12:37 he gives the C# keyword "with" as an example. I believe he actually meant the "using" keyword. The C# language doesn't have a "with" keyword. Overall a fantastic presentation showcasing the technicalities and applications of closures.
[2011-08-06 22:50:50] noicereaver - Funny thing is that ...Funny thing is that many languages have these for years already... But for java it is so hard, because of how it's working.

[2011-01-25 11:30:36] textsaurabh - great concept ...great concept addition if it is added in Java 7 without any performance impacts. Liked the way of explanation. LIKE (KUDOS to the speaker)

[2009-04-16 01:35:42] meditating010 - This is stupid, Why ...This is stupid, Why cant we have the same kind of closure format like in ECMA script? so like last expression 'means' return type, why? why cant it be the same as return something; instead? I mean so we really are changing and "adding" some learning curve because it means to be something and it is not very apparent! I am all for closures ... but they should give it a more thought in making it apparent to people. Regards Vyas, Anirudh
[2009-04-12 08:06:59] twylo - This talk is ...This talk is absolutely superb. I wish I could speak on a subject with one tenth the intelligence and the ability to present cogent information that Neal Gafter has.
