Want lambdas with jdk6? Here's an IDEA
· 2 min read
All Java people are looking forward to jdk8 to bring more functional-like syntax to the language, but it will take some time before we'll really be able to code like that day to day. It may take years, before jdk8 gets fully adopted as a standard (how many of you already use jdk7 in production these days?) Till then, we'll still have to write all the verbose code around -- if you want to stick with Java language, of course.
