Heh, it's not a bad language.

    anonymous_function() looks more intuitive than lambda(). I
    think the function should be renamed and the
    LISP/Python/Scheme fans should get an alias.

I'd agree to that.

I bothers me having a zillion aliases in PHP. It especially bothers me that from the first day a new function is introduced it is already aliased. (when there is no backwards compatibility need to have an alias). Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
