-----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Antonio Piccolboni Is it only me or does lambda lack orthogonality with anything else? Whenever I use lambda for anything non isomorphic to the the plain vanilla examples, the compiler goes ballistic <end polemic>

That's why they're adding lambda functions to C++. Of course theyre not polymorphic so IMHO that makes them useless.
