Line 125:
I just wanted to state agreement with the anonymous edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First-class_function&curid=1163024&diff=254802923&oldid=254755387] removing the statement "A different set of difficulties arises when programs can create functions at runtime; if the program is compiled, this means that the runtime environment must itself include a compiler." Although it is possible for a program to generate another program in source or AST form and subsequently compile it at runtime, it is also possible for a program to directly generate machine code at runtime, and this is common in certain applications e.g. [[compiled bitmap]]s.

== Merge [[anonymous function]] here ==
That article ''wants'' to describe the same concept. An ''anonymous'' function [[per se]] is damn useless. What makes it useful is that it can be passed around. But that article fails to explain this, or pretty much anything, besides giving some examples that largely overlap with this article.
