They want to prevent another half-baked implementation of a feature like they did with generics. C# is much faster and has much more features, but because of that it's also a bit of a mess sometimes. For example regarding closures/anonymous functions it has delegates, lambdas and anonymous (inner) classes which all have overlap but aren't fully the same. Java only has anonymous inner classes, and a convenient syntax and good support for anonymous inner classes with only 1 method (which they call lamdbas)
