Hi internals, Motivated by the recent list comprehensions RFC, I think it's time we took another look at short closures:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/arrow_functions_v2 This is based on a previous (withdrawn) proposal by Levi & Bob. It uses the syntax fn($x) => $x * $multiplier and implicit by-value variable binding. This example is roughly equivalent to: function($x) use($multiplier) { return $x * $multiplier; } The RFC contains a detailed discussion of syntax choices and binding modes. Regards, Nikita
