Answer 1

Delegates in C# look ugly to me. (declaring something as variable, and then adding () after it feels bad in OOP)

Besides, if you want : "The delegate object can then be passed to code which can call the referenced method, without having to know at compile time which method will be invoked.

you can simply use java.lang.reflect.Method
