AutoHotkey Community

I was coding a new program the other day, it was something I had made in C++ durring my early days... Thats how I have been learning AHK.. By redoing the 500 or so small C++ programs I built.

So I was coding along, I go to compile and Oh... My... God...



Waa. but. and. the. they. its. no?. it. but.....

WHAT?!?!?!!?

( ^^ actually what i said .... )

Autohotkey doesn't support Functions with functions?! A.K.A. Lambda

Please please please implement this! It is a staple of my personal coding style as I obey the UNIX philosophy...

which is (in my own words): One small program for one general job. In opposition to one big program to do one specific job, just string the little ones together

.... It is a staple for me to make one function do one job, one sub routine do one job. Then I can string them together in fun and complex ways to create new an interesting hot keys without writing big-butt functions!


So please, implement it I can help you if you like... (C++ dev... busy working on my teams website right now... So I can't say I'll be able to help much )

You are entirely missing the point. Your error is the result of a mismatched curly brace. Funtions can of course CALL other functions. And then we have classes...
so fix your curly braces and then we can talk about lambda

Many languages allow function definitions within functions. Currently I beleive this is still disallowed in ahk. altho I have not been watching the latest v2 beta discussions I know it was intended at some point to allow this

Functions-in-functions would provide minimal benefit without closures, which are not feasible with the current architecture. Furthermore, lambda provides a particular way of defining an anonymous function or closure, and is not comparable to simply defining a function inside another function.
