I don't think the credit for the java implementation of 'Lambda' should go to Haskell pioneering it and proving it useful. First class functions were present in lots of other languages, most notably the lisp family long before.

Generics also were not a new idea back then...and let's not forget Gilad and Martin, whose backgrounds weren't haskell.

Certainly before 1994, given that Stepanov was already writing about his Standard Template Library for C++.
