You are wrong. Groovy had lambdas even before Java 8. Netflix used Groovy only because of that exact feature.

No, I am right, because I didn't say Apache Groovy didn't have lambdas, I said it still didn't have the Java 8 lambda syntax in response to the comment that Groovy was so "ruthlessly" Java-syntax compatible. So you are wrong about me being wrong.

> Netflix used Groovy

Does Netflix still use Groovy? You make it sound like they no longer use it for new coding projects. If they do, you should have written "Netflix uses Groovy" and said what they still use it for.
