  I keep thinking that C could support monads with a little work.

    As I see it, adding lambda/anonymous functions would have a transformative impact on the whole language. Adding them to C++ had a similar impact although the language offered some ways to get around the limitation.

      Very true. When I look at C# pretty much all the cool stuff they have added relies on lambdas and closures. Same for JavaScript. It's the one feature that enables a ton of other features.
