Marco
published a little example of anonymous methods. I already commented about it on his blog, but to me this is the very proof of the uglyness of anonymous methods.
To me the beauty in object oriented languages is the ability to create easy readable code if you take care of your object design and naming conventions. If you have a sound object model and you choose the names of properties and methods wisely, your code will be very easy to read and to understand. If you keep you code logic simple and short (I very much favor methods and functions that have a very limited amount of code in them) no one will have trouble reading (and if necessary maintaining) your code.
Marco's example, to me, proofs that anonymous methods are terrible. One has to read his little piece of code a couple of times to see what's going on and still it would probably need a bit of documentation. Or, maybe it's me, and only I have to read his code a couple of times.
In my book the anonymous methods will remain very much what their name suggests: not very well known.
Bye,
Bart
