Syntax wise, we can be a lot smarter by moving to another JVM language: val userNames = userList.map(_.name) or val userNames = userList map _.name
(both valid Scala) So I'm definitely in the group here that's behind making this standardised at the bytecode level. The overriding need for backward compatibility just makes it impossible to do anything truly elegant in Java, but this can just be considered a mere triviality nowadays.
