ParallelDoubleArray in extra166y works fine for me with anonymous
classes.  It being Java, it's verbose and ugly, but it works -- no need
to wait for closures at all.

I agree it would be better to have closures than not have them.

Of course the JVM is not Java, which is why GPars, Scalaz, and Clojure
already have parallel map so that applications targeting the JVM can
have all these nice parallelism goodies today -- without having to wait
for the (potentially mythical :-) Java 7.
