Ldo, I'm afraid that your changes (on 17 Sep 2004) have really gone farther than needed. This page is now overly complicated and reads more of a disertation on sorting algorithms rather than a simple encyclopedic article on the callback function. I think keeping any example to the minimal possible to show the concept of callback is best, and leave the lengthy programming textbook and best practices explanation elsewhere. Also some of your text is too gramatically casual, especially the paragraphs full of questions. - [[User:Dmeranda|Dmeranda]] 06:54, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 
== The "language extension and adaptation" closure method ==
 
The article currently gives the following as one way to do callbacks:
 
:Some systems have built-in programming languages to support extension and adaptation. These languages provide callbacks without the need for separate software development tools.
 
Can someone turn this into a more concrete claim? What are people thinking of here? LISP macros, perhaps? --[[User:Ryguasu|Ryguasu]] 29 June 2005 19:00 (UTC)
