I'm not an expert on modern FP, but the above lambda doesn't seem like a classic lambda (as in lambda calculus and Lisp) to me.
Now that I've seen what Phoenix can do, I think that, were I to design a Boost.Lambda2, I'd probably go with a classic lambda of the form
lambda( _x, _y )[ _x + _y ]
where the inner _x + _y is not a function object, and it is the lambda[] that turns it into one. (That is, the evaluation of an inner expression would be done with eval(expr, args...) and not with expr(args...).)
Oh yes please! Unfortunately I think that this would require major surgery of phoenix...
+1 from me for that syntax. I don't think that it will actually require major surgery after all. It really just requires a small adjustment of the environment. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
