If functions are comparable you have to be very careful in defining /when/ they are equal.
func f(x int)int {return x+2} func g(x int)int {return x+2} func h(x int)int {return x+1+1} Are f and g equal? f and h? func k() func (int)int { return func(int x)int {x + 1}} Are k() and k() equal? f and k()? var x = 17 func l() func(int)int {y := 2; return func(int x)int {x +y}} l() and f? and k()? and l()? Disallowing equality tests on functions allows the compiler to freely re-use code (or not).
