@jacob: Yes for real implementations that is what I would do. For the sake of this example I wanted to execute any method without the need for an abstract glue instance.

But your point is taken, I should update the Java-example to be “what Java coders expect”.

Maybe instead of introducing a hand-written ListCollector, use apache’s CollectionUtils:

public class ListExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Collection list = Arrays.asList(new Number[]{12, 42, 366});
Collection results = CollectionUtils.collect(list, new Transformer() {
public Object transform(Object input) {
return ((Number)input).toString();
}
});
System.out.println(results);
}
}

Granted, they still don’t use Generics, but otherwise it’s more java-like to pass a anonymous interface-implementation as a quasi-closure.

Small typo in the “The Ruby Problem” section: “and then resturn a list”, should be “return” =)
