Offers a View Into Lambda Development
summary
Project spends about three and a half years resolving deep interactions rather than slapping on syntax; the team overhauls method overload selection and type inference so lambdas behave predictably with existing Java features. Lambdas and companion library changes exist in OpenJDK JDK8 developer preview and are already used in development for roughly 18 months. The implementation lands in standard JDK builds, is reported as pleasant and stable, and test feedback via OpenJDK issue reports is actively invited.
