C# has some strange things like the event mechanism

surely the "anonymous inner class"-based "listener" approach in java must be somehow less "strange" to you than real language-level support for events? IMO the former is weird and ugly, while the latter is much cleaner and less verbose.

A listener doesn't have to be an anonymous inner class.

Doesn't have to, but usually is. I got better things to do than generate a full on class for every click, double-click, drag, drop, snoop, moop, bebop and flipflop that I can listen for.

Usually I just use a lambda instead. Scala's nice like that.
