Having closures in Java is important because it potentially means type compatibility for closures across languages. I don't think there will be a one language to rule the JVM, so features that make it easier to interoperate multiple languages are useful.
Also, libraries written in Java with closures in mind can now settle on a representation, and so interoperability is gained in this area too.
