I don’t know any other language with lambdas which requires me to spell out explicitly which variables it should close over... so you tell me how Java, Scala, C

  Forced heap allocation and GC of course that would be unacceptable in C++. IIRC Rust uses capture modifiers similar to C++.

    Rust is not really the same as C++ here, you get "the compiler infers how to capture things" as the default behavior, and "take everything by value", which happens with the "move" keyword. We've found that these two cases cover the vast, vast, vast majority of usage, and so C++-style specific capture modifiers aren't necessary. You can emulate C++ style stuff by taking references outside of the closure and using move to capture only the reference.

  > I don’t know any other language with lambdas which requires me to spell out explicitly which variables it should close over PHP closures have to specify which variables they close over, and whether it's done by-val or by-ref [0]. Nowadays there's also a shorthand single-expression-closure syntax that closes implicitly and by value [1].
