Hi Luca Good to see some experiments with this.
The OUT functions is not needed as end users would only work with the IN message in the routes. We have deprecated OUT stuff in the Java DSL in some places. Just a mind that the goal of Camel 2.18 is to be a gentle Java8 upgrade where the APIs are backwards compatible, so end users can take any existing Java 7 based Camel 2.17 or older and compile as Java 8 and run on Camel 2.18 as-is. Therefore we have so far only done Java 8 stuff internally in Camel, eg inside component implementations and so on. But your changes seems non invasive and can be a candidate to include. But we could consider marking that as "experimental" so we can do API changes for the next release, and when we get more hands down on Camel 3.0 where the APIs can be more Java 8 aggressive. Also mind that a goal of the DSL is also to let Java and XML be 1:1 so end users can use the same EIPs in either one, and usually an easy migration between them, as they are similar. Just be more cautious when working on Java DSL that you dont end up in a situation with something that is not possible to do in XML. Also we should avoid turning the Java DSL into un-readable and cluttered/complex DSL as the Spring Integration Java DSL: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples/blob/master/dsl/cafe-dsl/src/main/java/org/springframework/integration/samples/dsl/cafe/lambda/Application.java But this is a great start, and like that its gentle and only about doing lambda style functions as Camel expressions.
