Proposal: MethodHandles Everywhere!

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

The MethodHandle API was added in Java 7, as a way to programmatically
build up smart function pointers. Far more powerful than simple reflection,
handles JIT and optimize like Java code, producing a fast, direct,
type-safe callable. And the API has continued to evolve: in Java 9, you can
now embed atomic semantics, array views, loops and "finally" logic, and
much more. Come learn how flexible and useful MethodHandles can be!
