Generating faster/tighter code for lambdas (or even closures) can be implemented as a separate task, the two aren't really interconnected, since the Groovy closure is so versatile to begin with.
The problem is that Closure has delegates, owners and several other things, that make no sense for lambdas in the sense of Java. In other words: Closure does too much and is too heavy weight
