Java is going to have closures.

As you probably know, recently Java has incorpored annotations and
templates into its syntax, and the combinations of both make Java more
dinamic and in some way closer to the compiler behavor as Lisp macros
do.
Now, they are pretending to add closures. You can find the paper
explaining their intentions here:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/ahe/closures.pdf
Now I'm thinking: it is really true that the programming world is
tending towards Lisp. If we continue in this line, we're going to have
Java and other languages evolutionating until they are very close to
Lisp.
But the most interesting thing is that they are implementing these
things now, but most of them just ignore that Lisp was able to do so
from 30 years ago to now!
I'd like to read some comments from all you experts.
