Interesting article. However he forgets to mention that this will be much easier in Java 8, with the support for Lambdas. Which comes wich JSR 335.

Perhaps he doesn't forget, but wants to speak about what you should do today. Or, perhaps he doesn't know about Java 8 lambdas. Ultimately, your comment would come off a lot less offensively if you had said something like "Interesting article. I wonder if Java 8 lambdas will change this. <link>".

The article has a point. Guava is pretty nice, but using anonymous inner classes to implement filters gets pretty ugly.
