gcc nested functions (Score:1)

by mary.poppins (3530) on 2004.03.17 15:42 (#29433) Homepage Journal

I think that gcc's nested functions are fun. I wish they'd been
added to the C99 standard....

A fun ML thing is partially applied functions: If foo takes two
args, a and b, then (foo a) is the same as (fun b -> foo a b).
Of course, to do this you need static typing.
