LambdaExpression ::= LambdaParameters '->' LambdaBody

LambdaParameters -> BeginLambda LambdaParameterList

LambdaParameterList -> '(' FormalParameterListopt ')„

LambdaBody -> Expression

LambdaBody -> Block

I i = BeginLambda (x) -> { };

Scanning + Parsing => Parse tree

+ Resolution => Resolved parse tree

+ Data/control flow analysis => Flow analyzed parse tree

+ Code generation => Class files.

() -> { throw new Exception(); } is void and value compatible.

o Changes the very notion of a type.

o Some subsystems should view @NonNull String != @ReadOnly String

o while others should view them as being the same.

o Abstractions need to support either world view efficiently.

String is a String is a String

Recipe for disaster:● implement java.util.List → compile against JRE 7 → OK

● upgrade to JRE 8 but compile as 1.7

Undefined compiler behavior● 1.7 compiler cannot handle default methods (from .class)

● exact answer depends on compiler implementation details

● there is no specification

● ecj and javac differ

● assimilation is difficult
