I'd like to make a public apology to Remi Forax here. I didn't realize at the time that I wrote my comment that you were one of the forces behind the Java 8 "SAMbda" effort, nor did I understand at the time the constraints that the nominal type system + type erasure together put on the effort. Actually, I still don't understand those constraints, but I have the gyst now, and I'd just like to say that my comment was unfair & potentially hurtful. I still don't understand some things about the intent behind the interaction of lambdas & method-handles, but irrespective, the term "mess" is unduly perjorative, unjustly harsh, and moderately ignorant, to boot.
