Year 2014: Java gets lambdas.

Java 8 is pretty nice actually. Lambdas, date/time API that doesn't suck, filter/map/reduce in the collections. I'm looking forward to work with it.

I feel lambdas are kind of like generics. Hacked on top of language which does not really support them. No type interference, no named arguments...

Kotlin is way to go...
