Many thanks to all respondees for making me think hard. There is a lot of guff written on the web about the importance of closures; mostly supported by a) largely opaque, academic arguments; b) partiality for particular languages that (first) support(ed) them; c) trivial textbook examples where their use can often be replaced by less esoteric language constructs. Real life examples of why they are useful are hard to find. In reply to Re: Real life uses for closures.(Reply to all respondees!)
