Note Submitter: Matthew ---- This is the most retarded way for functions to be implemented. Yes, it is equivalent to calling eval. That should NOT be the case. It is quite possible to implement function creation special form that DOES NOT require loading the evaluator/compiler at run-time. Whenever I see "features" like this, I want to kick the morons who "designed" this language. Is it really that hard to go read a book about how programming languages are SUPPOSED TO BE designed? There is no reason why anonymous functions should be inefficient. Is it too much to ask to have proper lexical scope in a language these days, too? Sigh.
