On: Next-gen Java Programming Style

It could be worthwhile if this proposal were implemented:

http://docs.google.com/Doc.aspx?id=k73_1ggr36h

"Here is the same code rewritten using the proposed syntax:"

    List<String> ls = ... ;
    Collections.sort(ls,
        Comparator<String>(String s1, String s2){ return s1.length() - s2.length(); });

By making anonymous inner class declaration more concise, you get many of the benefits of closures, without changing Java semantics.
