The strange thing is that I haven't seen any comments from people that understands closures saying they don't like them. So this makes you think if closures is just a matter of understanding them or not.
This must be what Neal is thinking because he tries to answer the
question: what is the point of closures?
I would also recommend that you play a little with Smalltalk or Ruby.
I'm not allowing comments on this one as you can comment on my previous entry on closures or on Neal's blog.
