Closures are cool. I think Guido added them to Python but I could be misremembering. That said, I think Java should stay away from them. Like my granddaddy used to say, "Dance with who brung ya." Java has inner classes, for good or for ill, and should just stick with that. Programming languages can't be all things to all people and Java should just stick to its strengths.
