In javascript, there's the common patte of creating an anonymous function and immediately invoking it (usually this is called a self-executing anonymous function or an immediately-invoked function expression).
With Java 8 lambdas, is there a standard way to replicate this behaviour? Something like (() -> doSomething())().
This question asks basically the same question, but for Java 7. I'm explicitely looking for constructs which utilize lambdas.
