Mike Ash on Objective-C Blocks

Mike Ash: “Both Objective-C blocks and C++0x lambdas have the same basic goal: to allow writing anonymous inline functions. Called closures, blocks, lambdas, or just anonymous functions, these are a common feature in higher level languages. They are extremely useful for building convenient, succinct libraries for things like array iteration, multithreading, delayed computation, and many others.”
