Hey @qmx! I've added a simple DSL block for generating lambdas more easily, mostly because I find the multiple invokedynamic arguments required for lambdas is tough to get my head around.
In a nutshell, lambdas require the following:
Using this information, the relevant invokedynamic instruction is created to delegate into the implementation method.
Caveats:
The lambda block test (JiteClassTest#testLambda) is only run on Java 8. The test method exits if not running Java 8. I've taken steps to ensure Java 8 isn't required when using jitescript by coding all JDK 8 class names as strings. Is there a better way to manage the test given the JDK version constraint? :S
