AFAIK Java8 lambdas are somewhat less verbose wrappers around anonymous inner classes. When I saw that closure vars inside Java8 lambdas are final my first thought was that obviously Java is from now on on maintenace and that's it. The language Java won't evolve any more. I guess things will just stay like that from now on as the case for Cobol or something. The focus will be on tools, framewors, systems, etc. as it already has been for a while I fear ...
