I'm not sure I fully understand your meaning. You seem to prefer
dynamic languages, which is great because this is the Python list after
all. I'm not sure I know of any statically compiled language that lets
one construct a function at run-time. I know Boost supports lambda
functions but I'm not sure this is quite what you are referring to either.
