<p>It&#8217;s ironic, when Python <a href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-February/060415.html">tries to get rid of lambda expressions</a>, it&#8217;s when Java <a href="http://rickyclarkson.blogspot.com/2007/09/point-free-programming-in-java-7-beyond.html">sees the light</a> (and after <a href="http://www.developer.com/net/csharp/article.php/3598381">C#</a>).</p>

<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what they&#8217;ll borrow from dynamic languages next (and I mean having lambda inside <span class="caps">OOP</span> code, and not lambda expressions themselves).</p>
