you can, but it's sufficiently clunky that it simply doesn't feel like a natural thing to do in the language. good language design is a lot more about the thing

  "you can, but it's sufficiently clunky that it simply doesn't feel like a natural thing to do in the language." It does to me, but I've done enough functional programming that I easily reach for concepts from that space. "good language design is a lot more about the things it makes easy and natural than the things it makes possible." Of course. I don't know where you got the idea I was saying closures aren't a good thing to have language support for. I said precisely the opposite.
