Confession: I really hate the word "closure", especially as a synonym for "function". It's such a boring and unhelpful detail to fixate on.
@travisbrown I mostly agree, but: anonymous functions that *aren't* lexical closures are sure a lot less useful, huh?

@avibryant I think the degree of less usefulness depends a lot on the language, but yeah.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avibryant@travisbrown mixing closure with function also means that it's hard to explain that classes, e.g. in Java, can have closures too.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
