> Maybe anonymous methods were introduced in other languages because they didn't have something like OP's procedure variables
IMO, it's because they're lazy to declare things before they use it. Often, an anonymous function which first used just once eventually used more than once. When that happens, users of languages with anonymous function would refactor the function by removing it from the anonymous context into a standalone named function, and re-pass it. Where as for Pascal style users, that's not needed because the function is already named and standalone. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Delphi-s-anonymous-functions-in-Free-Pascal-tp4911527p4925137.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
