It's not everyone has a management who sees it this way. In our large
project (we're talking several hundred developers and a really
complicated build process), I don't see anyone advocating more
complexity by adding another compiler and language.

Anyway, it's turned out not to be too complicated in straight Java.
One can simply extend a straightforward implementation of the usual
cons-list with the following features, giving one a
FilterableConsList<T>:
a) accept a Function<T> to generate the elements in the tail
    in sequence
b) accept a Supplier<FilterableConsList<T>> to supply a tail
c) accept a Predicate<T> to filter out non-matching elements
    from the tail
and make the implementation class LazyConsList<T> lazy for the tail
(but eager for the head).

It's also easy to implement AbstractCollection by providing an iterator
and make the thing streamable by providing a spliterator of unknown
size.

With that, the driver for generating the first 100 primes becomes:

LazyConsList<Integer> s = sieve(LazyConsList.newList(2, x -> x + 1));
s.stream().limit(100).forEach(x->System.out.print(x + " "));

where the interesting sieve() method is defined like this:

private LazyConsList<Integer> sieve(FilterableConsList<Integer> s) {
   Integer p = s.head();
   return cons(p, () -> sieve(s.tail().filter(x -> x % p != 0)));
}

Now I think that looks pretty neat (and almost exactly like the
corresponding Scala code.)
