These concepts come from a functional paradigm (Lisp, Scheme, Haskell) which most people find hard to grasp because of years of training in the imperative languages (Java, C, C++, Pascal, PHP). I'll try to post some long examples in a coming post. I didn’t say lambda functions were easier to understand at a first look.

These examples really seem like a great way to make your code hard to understand. The closures and nested anonymous functions are just going to leave maintenance developers left scratching their heads. Is all this really worth the trouble? I'd love to see a more in-depth useful example scenario. Maybe that would open my eyes a bit more so I could see the benefit of these new capabilities. At first blush, I don’t really like this idea.
