I use closures, though rarely. When I use one, I consider it exotic/obtuse/unusual enough to require self-documenting code, with a temp variable whose name include 'closure'. I do not want something as tiny as () to be all I have to clue in the new guy to a closure pattern/paradigm/algorithm. Maybe if I was typing all closures all day in PHP I'd see more need for it, but are you really doing this that often? -- Some people ask for gifts here.
