[fpc-devel] Delphi anonymous methods

[Boian Mitov]

Strongly disagree.
Anonymous methods are a critical feature of any mother language, and allow 
vast improvements of the code and the readability. I recently started 
rewriting our libraries with anonymous methods and that alone allowed for 
cutting over 20000 lines of code, while adding vast number of new features. 
Any language that does not support anonymous methods is just a joke IMHO.

If you have never developed with them, (as was I), you never know what you 
have been missing. They are actually more important than having object 
oriented support IMHO.

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

>From what I can see, anonymous methods are just like the above code...
allowing a declaration of a procedure/method in-line inside a code block
where in shouldn't belong. It is very, very un-Pascal like. The end
result is unreadable code, probably hard to debug etc.
