This is very exciting: it’s the kind of new abstraction the C family has needed for years. As you know if you’ve worked in Ruby or Python or Smalltalk or any functional language, the ability to declare an anonymous function inline, and pass it as a parameter to another function, opens the door to creating new and useful control structures. Blocks are to control structures as struct is to data structures.
