Lambdas in Smart–Why does this make me happy?

Smart 1.1 will support the lambda syntax. Why is this a big deal?

It’s simple.

This is the old code:

  ResizeChildren(FClientArea.Height, [TAlign.Top, TAlign.Bottom],
    function (layout: TLayoutImpl): Variant
    begin
      Result := layout.GetConfig.GetHeight;
    end,
    procedure (layout: TLayoutImpl; value: integer)
    begin
      layout.GetConfig.Height(value);
    end);

And this is the new code:

  ResizeChildren(FClientArea.Height, [TAlign.Top, TAlign.Bottom],
    lambda (layout) => layout.GetConfig.GetHeight,
    lambda (layout, value) layout.GetConfig.Height(value) end);

Is this a good enough reason to be happy? I think it is!

Verity Stob follows the SmartMS development! Yeah!

“Then the users of Delphi parleyed among themselves. And some were for adopting tools such as Smart Mobile Studio and Elevate Web Builder which taketh Pascal and compile it to filthy JavaScript-that-is-the-assembly-language-of-the-internet.”
