"I fall in the "closures seem like syntactic sugar for anonymous inner classes" camp." Count me in. BTW, I don't find anonymous inner classes so ugly - and in any case with a bit of work, they can removed by ad hoc solutions using introspection and annotations (see for instance this example). One of the premises of the Java language was to keep it simple. After ten years is no more so simple (even though is still much simpler than C++). Please let's try to contain the complexity.
