    The equivalent of closures in Java are local classes, which can be anonymous (just like anonymous functions in JS).
    Java 8 will bring us lambdas, but GWT isn’t yet supporting Java 7, so lambdas in GWT are not for tomorrow 😉

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_science)#Local_classes_.28Java.29
