no closures in java 8 actually

The same dumb stupid Java where you can only pass a final into an internal class...

"

List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<>(); 
ints.add(1); 
ints.add(2); 
ints.add(3); 

int sum = 0; 
ints.forEach(i -> {sum += i;}); 

The compiler error is: "value used in lambda expression should be effectively final". I got some bad suspicion and tried whether this compiles:

int sumArray[] = new int[] { 0 }; 
ints.forEach(i -> {sumArray[0] += i;}); 

This did compile.

If you can't join it, create your own.
That's the attitude one Florida preteen ran with after his parents banned him from using Facebook. Instead of begging or slamming doors when his account was deactivated, the 11-year-old launched his own social network tailored specifically to children.
