I'm not so sure about lambdas in v1. I remember v2 added anonymous functions ( ex " delegate(int x){...}" ), and real lambdas not coming until v3.

You're correct, anonymous functions were 2.0, sorry. However, I'd argue that, syntax aside, they were already true lambdas. The expression stuff that V3 added isn't even on the Java roadmap.
