+== Functional interfaces
+
+Java programs define "functions" with Java functional interfaces (marked with the  https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/FunctionalInterface.html[@FunctionalInterface] annotation), which have a single method.
+
+Clojure developers can now invoke Java methods taking functional interfaces by passing functions with matching arity. The Clojure compiler implicitly converts Clojure functions to the required functional interface by constructing a lambda adapter. You can explicitly coerce a Clojure function to a functional interface by hinting the binding name in a `let` binding, e.g. to avoid repeated adapter construction in a loop.
