Comments on: Getting Closure http://madbean.com/2006/closure/ The other kind of micro blog Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:15:05 +1000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Commander Breetai http://madbean.com/2006/closure/comment-page-1/#comment-14611 Commander Breetai Wed, 24 Jan 2007 02:55:11 +0000 http://madbean.com/2006/closure/#comment-14611 <p>Why use Java? Why not just use a language with closures and/or type inferencing? If you can whiz your way through the mess that is Java, then Haskell should be a breeze.</p> Why use Java?

Yeah, it did occur to me that the Map interface will never grow a forEachEntry() method, but I suppose it just seemed easier to have the example work that way :) And maybe I've been doing too much ruby lately...</p> Glad you liked it Neal.

But we can add new static methods to the JDK. I will be proposing adding a method to iterate over the entries in a map.</p> Brilliant!

The type inferencing aspects of the proposal are interesting. I suspect Java would be a better language with wide application of type inferencing.

As for Groovy, I say, “Bah! Come back and talk to me if it ever reaches 1.0.”

No, scratch that, I'm sick of updating the java grammar for Clover.</p> Groovy Shmoovy, I want my increasing-complicated java. No, scratch that, I’m sick of updating the java grammar for Clover.

Groovy has them now and compiles to byte code. You can write your closure logic in Groovy and call the Groovy classes from Java just like they were Java classes.</p> Why wait?

Hope they add it to Java. Enjoyed your first Video blog, took me back to the 90's. :-)</p> Been playing with Ruby recently and liked the closures. Hope they add it to Java.
