Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: March 20,2007 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Closures for Java

Speaker....: Neal Gafter, Google Inc (http://www.google.com)

Description:

We propose to add Closures to the Java Programming
Language. Closures simplify the use of APIs that rely
on the use of anonymous class instances, such as the
concurrency APIs and callbacks. More importantly,
closures support control abstractions, which are
APIs that act as programmer-defined control
constructs. This talk describes the proposed
language extension and its design rationale, and
shows how it will affect existing and future APIs

evangelist at Google. He was previously a senior staff
