Session: Lambdas in Java SE 8 or co-evolving libraries, the language and the VM
Friday 11.10 - 12.00
Room: Gangnam Style
Lambdas is going to be the biggest new feature in Java SE 8. This presentation will show you the need for lambdas, the feature in itself, and also how adding lambdas to Java makes makes it necessary to solve the problem of library evolution. Also you get to see how lambda expressions, type inference, default methods and library improvements makes parallelism much easier to express.
Expectations
Learn about our current implementation of, the background of, and what we have planned for Lambdas -- the biggest Java SE 8 feature.
