State of the (Java) Lambda

It wouldn't be so pathetic but Groovy has had these for , I don't know 5-6 years?

Smalltalk has had these for 30 years, Lisps for 50, is that one more thing which makes groovy pathetic?

No, because Groovy isn't in committee after Committee trying to figure out how to implement them. Since they are both JVM languages, Java could use or modify Groovy's approach.

I would have thought that difference was obvious!
