Re: Return type hinting patch

Anonymous functions as you know them today come from lambda calculus which was created before computers were even made. Generally it is agreed anon func == labmda can be used interchangeably. Most developers will understand what: public function lambda sowat () { return function OR lambda, whatever () { } } Seems more natural then whatever nightmare people could think of, like public function Function or public function ANONFUNCLOL... The thing that I hate about that idea is not a reserved word, any there is surely plenty of people with functions named them. Perhaps that detail can be worked out in the grammar without breaking bc. -Chris On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 5:20 PM, David Zülke <dz@bitxtender.com> wrote: > But anonymous functions and lambda expressions are not the same thing... >
