The Road to Lambda

Lambdas were announced as a new language feature for Java 8 in 2010 but won't actually be in a supported release of Java until 2013. This session introduces the proposed language changes and takes a detailed look at their use by the planned parallel libraries. The new parallel data libraries will offer Java developers efficient and powerful tools for building highly scalable concurrent applications that fully utilize modern multicore systems.
