Brainchild Closures
-
Reading the CP news: > Closures are the brainchild (http://gafter.blogspot.com/2006/08/closures-for-java.html) of Neal > Gafter, former Java 1.5 and 5.0 co-designer with Sun and currently leading Google's Java efforts. Hang on, not that Gosling teaching produced a new generation of university programmes leading to ignorance and highly (if not highest) paid Java syndrome with agents and other species.. now we are supposed to think closures (beside Smalltalk) were invented there? It looks like that xacc.ide will have another language to deal with : IronJava :-)
