[racket-dev] Fwd: [PRL] Interesting information about Java's new function syntax, and approach to parallelism

When I read this, I see Guy Steele at work behind the scenes, 
I see that they still didn't get his 'growing a language' talk, 
and I see a macro called for/map-reduce with futures in the background
for certain collections and programmers who prefer "(for" over these funny 
arrows in their Java code. At least HtDP students are well-prepared for this 
Java future. -- Matthias
