[chuck-users] is there a way of doing "callbacks" ( i.e. passing function as argument to be called later ) ?

Class yes, function no unfortunately.  The workaround I use is small
"functor" classes, similar in style to inner classes in java.  E.g.

Some doc here (that needs a lot of updating)

You might be able to hack this by writing to a temp file and Machine.add'ing it.
