@maxc Are you familiar with Joy? Thoses curlies denote lambdas, they're made a bit like a cons cell, there's a CDR-like address at the start, their pointer ends up on the stack so they can be unquoted, moved around, or called.

@neauoire only as a kind of happiness and I guess as a family of nurses 😉 will look into it thanks

I think ultimately for lambda/anonymous function stuff it's always all about convenience/laziness so as long as it's shorter and easier to write than making another function and copying the label for that elsewhere, there's a chance it's considered useful!

@maxc Uxntal is already tacit PF, so not only you don't need to write parameter names in a function, you can now be even more lazy and skip naming it altogether. Here's a nice little primer to Joy.

@neauoire for those following along I basically found hypercubed.github.io/joy/html/ and it was very readable. Haven't dug into devine's resources yet :)

@maxc @neauoire the tutorial (hypercubed.github.io/joy/html/) also seems helpful! this is a very interesting rabbit hole :>
