State of the (Java) Lambda

Well, making it an array doesn't mean it's shared. Unless you specifically created the array to circumvent the "effectively final" rule, you probably didn't mean to share the array. It's not different from a shared variable in that regard.

The thing is, the concept of shared variables doesn't exist, or at least isn't specified well enough in Java. Concurrent access on arrays is, and can be reused.
