Re: Closures versus objects

Not particularly deep, but anonymous functions lessen the pain somewhat
of programing in OO languages that have no macros.  I'm thinking
specifically of blocks in Smalltalk, and anonymous delegates in C#.

Control structures tend to look more like control structures when I
don't have to define a half a dozen named classes just to temporarily
establish some bindings to run a block of code.
