The statement that closures only work well in dynamic languages makes me think that you don't really understand what closures have to offer.
If you want to be convinced about closures, I think Neil Gafters presentation here is very convincing http://www.parleys.com/display/PARLEYS/An%20update%20on%20Java%20Closures
Closures can be used to solve a lot of problems and can be used to greatly simplify code. Frankly I don't understand why so many people are so scared of them. So far the only arguments I've heard for not including closures have come from the ignorant that don't really understand what closures have to offer. Go educate yourself before speaking out against progress. |
