Autoclosure is a super interesting trick Swift has for solving problems usually reserved for macros: https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=4 …

assert and operators use them without having to use macros or give them special evaluation semantics. e.g. the RHS of && and ||
autoclosures were more "cute" in my experience -- more aggressive sugar for passing closures is the bigger win IMO.

e.g. `array.sort { $0 < $1 }`

Ah OK! I've long wanted that. Again, Scala has something similar: `array.sort { _ < _ }`
-
Heh, swift has `array.sort(<)` :P

Haskell too :)

pretty sure "you can do this in haskell" borders on vacuous. Although upon reflection the two have similar operator overloading
