I agree with all you said, except that writing the equivalent of "function(x) { return x.name.length > 10; }" on java is a syntax problem. There is a lot implicit when you declare this function on javascript, for example, it's visibility. There's also the typing which is resolved on runtime. So maybe I don't have the concept very clear but, is this really a syntax difference or a language features difference?
