ooooh java...

It makes sense when you realize that javas lambdas are just on-the-fly generated anonymous inner classes

Immutability is your friend

Mutable plebs.

Technically is correct. Even if it wasn't final, your pointer would lose the reference when reassigning inside of the lambda expression, so outside of it nothing would've been changed.

That being said, Java is SHIT. Wish Android would've been designed in other language
