One thing that intrigues me with the whole closures deal. I never actually got a chance to try it out and keep forgetting, but afaik the BGGA closure prototype which was released some time ago provided a) a javac+closures replacement b) a supporting library jar which would allow one to compile and run java+closures code on a standard JDK6 jvm (please correct if wrong).
If people are so set on java+closures, they could just start using that, contribute a javax.collections.* closure-enabled library and we could be happy as a man named larry - who larry is I have no idea, nor do I know why he's often so happy.
