Hi Yuh-Ruey,
I was also under the impression that since lambdas were lighter functions that would be more efficient in time and/or space.
Is there any optimisation that could be performed for lambdas, but couldn't be performed for normal functions?
For example, it is easy to statically check that a function does not refer to 'this', or 'arguments' (right?) so in theory a function that does not use these features should not have to pay for them.
Functions are mutable objects and could perhaps gain a potential speed boost in some circumstances by being immutable. But that could be achieved by a generic mechanism for making immutable objects, and does not require introducing a new type of function.
