I don't think annonymous functions have anything special to do with FP or OO for that matter. Maybe someone can fill in on this?
In my mind, functional programming is about programming with mathematical functions - Purity - No arbitrary effects being thrown around - Input to output... Ba-Da-Boom-Ba-Da-Bing.
I find this much more valuable as a restriction from the runtime than as a guideline that can be ignored whenever deemed convenient.
That being said, I wouldn't have a job if I couldn't compromise on this :(
Is there any way to enforce some purity in F#? Does the type-system annotate effectfulness?
