Unfortunately the link you provided discusses lambdas but then after I'm hooked into them it says : "They were considered for Java 8 but were not included, for simplicity and due to time constraints."

So what's the point of describing the on a page talking about additions to Java 8?

The author is referring to the additional lambda-related features below (Non-final variable capture, Exception transparency, Control Flow). Lambdas most certainly are included in 8.
