Re: [chuck-users] Chuck Concurrency Best Practices

Well, yes, exactly. That's what this forum topic I mentioned is all about: http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?highlight=functor&t=23546 Functors, I think they're called. Essentially, the idea of wrapping the concept of a "runnable process"--or in this case a sporkable one--into a class of some sort with a .run() method that is always overridden is in order to provide a way to pass any process to another class that can run (or spork) them as children. You can get a lot of functional mileage out of that, but it's confusing and awkward as I'm finding out. -Mike On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 10:55 AM, Stephen Sinclair wrote:

What I really want is functions to be objects so that I can pass them as arguments and return them from other functions. This would make me very happy.

Closures would be cool, but would it be possible to do something similar by using objects that have member functions, and passing those?
