But afterall i am quitting on that. Since FPC are lacking closures i am sure here are mostly people who personally dislike them. I wanted to document why closures are good and do matter. Hopefully i did it to the extent i was able to. Surely i would not be able to convince you infinite time. So the rest of arguments would be questions of personal tastes and it would bring nothing but flamewar.
The closures (or anonymous functions as they are called in Delphi) are missing, because none of the developers has them on the important slots of the todo lists. So as long as nobody comes and implements them then they are not going to be implemented (at least in the near future). One member of the community stepped up some months ago to implement them (he even has a branch in SVN), but he didn't go far. I don't know whether it was his motivation or his time or his knowledge that left him...
