 From the current issue of the Java Developer Newsletter, received today:

   Best-Kept Secrets Surrounding Java 8

   Did you know that the schedule for upcoming features in JDK 8 are
   available now on the OpenJDK site? How about that you can try out
   the new functional programming concept "lambda expressions"
   (AKA closures) now?

So sad...

Alberto

How cute, they're making baby-steps to catch up.  Aww... look at the baby pictures.  Isn't that the cutest baby you've ever seen?  Yeah... wait, it's not the cutest baby you've ever seen?  What you mean it's the ugliest baby you've ever seen?!?!?!  OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!!

To be fair, this message from Sun (Oracle's little poodle) is dripping with marketing nonsense, so the message itself is absurd from the start.  However, the fact that Java is sort of a joke in this department is very serious.

It's also sad that "lambda expressions" in Java 8 are not really lambda expressions; they're not functions (there are no first-class functions in Java, the closest thing are method references which they're also adding in 8). Lambdas are mainly just syntax sugar for anonymous inner classes, a feature Java has had almost from the start.

On a related note, look what C++ added last year.

The following quote comes to my mind:

It would be funny to see s-expressions introduced somewhere in Java 12

I wonder if someone made a few demo websites on common lisp and benchmarked vs tomcat for dynamic pages what would happen.
