Description Alexander Kriegisch CLA 2015-06-29 12:05:08 EDT 
There was a recent discussion on StackOverflow [1] and on the AspectJ users mailing list [2] about better lambda support. Andy encouraged me to issue a ticket, which I am doing just now. I am unsure whether issue #364886 [3] might also be related to this one, but I suppose so.

Hello.

Has this issue been noticed, maybe worked on or even resolved? I just saw it again because someone posted a comment on the old StackOverflow issue.

Issue has been noticed but nothing done on it I'm afraid.

There has been another SO issue with a similar problem. Here is my answer:

Here is yet another case where lambda support would be helpful:

This is about callback hooks registered for events in reactive frameworks like RxJava where lambdas are heavily used, basically disqualifying them for AspectJ usage.
