Stuart,actually Ruby methods can be paessd any number of lambdas: foo = proc {|a| } bar = proc {|b| } doSomething(foo, bar)( proc is even aliased to lambda )The form: doSomething {|c| } is syntactical sugar on the outer side of doSomething for when you need just one lambda, and enables some syntactical sugar on the inner side: it lets you pass control and data to the block with yield x instead of block.call(x) .I got interested in Lisp (and eventually fell in love with it) while programming in Ruby. I really hope the two communities will be friendly to each other because they have so much in common.

Comment on Working with C++0X/C++11: Lambdas – part 3 – introducing closures by Endanx

I don’t think meaningful iattnendion is a problem in evolving a language much more than any other specific syntax rule.Python has evolved a lot in semantics even if just slightly in syntax, but there is quite a bit of new stuff there too.For example, ruby’s special cased one-function-argument syntax makes it harder to provide multiple blocks as in Smalltalk, or think of how hard adding a pythonic/javaish stackable function decorator syntax with arguments would be.I think meaningful iattnendion may be a slightly more pesky problem, but not really much.As for the python lambdas are not closures python lambdas do carry their environment, the problem is you can’t use assignment in lambdas, and even using nested functions when you try to reassign to a variable that you got from an outer scope you’ll create a new local one, i.e.:>>> def exp(num): def f(): num= num * num return num return f>>> powers_of_two=exp(2)>>> power_of_two()Traceback (most recent call last):File , line 1, in ?File , line 3, in fUnboundLocalError: local variable num’ referenced before assignmentwhich is different from any other closure system I’m aware of.
