Java Lambda

I have only lean pickings especially during this recession. But this is my first Java Lambda. I have worked with Clojure in the past and I can relate to that.

There is enormous power in lambda’s and I hope to explore it further.

package com.test.lambda;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask;

public class Lambda {

  /* @param args*/
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Runnable r = () -> System.out.println("Test Lambda");
    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
    executor.execute(r);
    executor.shutdown();
  }
}
