Line 148:

Having said all that, we're not lacking concrete examples here, but rather some non [[WP:OR]] definitions of these concepts.

I'll try to find some authoritative references (as in not some text on language X, but more principles/theory kinda book). [[User:Pohta ce-am pohtit|Pcap]] [[User_talk:Pohta ce-am pohtit|<small>ping</small>]] 10:42, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

: Just a heads-up. I've summarized some literature I've surveyed at [[Talk:First-class object]]. I need to look at a few more sources before coming to a definitive conclusion, but the rough picture is:

:* anonymous function = function literal >= first-class function. So we need separate articles, but both need rewriting.

:* Most authors consider the last relation an equality, but some define first-class function as less hard-to-meet concept. See that page for details.

:* [[First-class object]] should redirect here as that page is full of [[WP:OR]]. The concept is never discussed separately, but introduced in the discussion about the first-classness of functions.
