      I actually used the term subroutine. Is there anyone who actually uses it anymore? In the age of OOP everywhere and fictional functional programming isn't the word itself an anathema on par of "Ni"?

      Sometimes. I sometimes refer generally to subroutines of any sort. Also, if I remember correctly in Clarion, a subroutine is specifically an internal routine within a function or procedure. It only took about 25 years for C# to get this feature compared to Clarion.

        I farking despise lambda functions used in that way.

          Wow, wow, wow.. some Googling later I learned that Clarion is a 4th generation, multiparadigm programming language! I expect nothing less now! :O :laugh:

              Clarion... Now that's a name I have not heard in a long time... I used it for many years, not that template stuff, but real coding. It really wasn't that bad.

                  This gives me flashbacks of 'learning' GWBASIC (I was too young and inexperienced to actually learn something from only the reference book given with the computer itself).

                  My first programming was in time-shared BASIC on an HP 3000. Imagine the teacher's surprise when I was writing a substitution cipher encoder and decoder as a freshman after one week in the class. The look on the teacher's face when he found out was truly priceless. That was in about 1975.

                    It's not a lambda as such (as I understand the term). Clarion way back in 1991 didn't have the concept of lambdas. Clarion's routines are just subroutines embedded within parent subroutines (i.e. a procedure or function) such that they are local to their parent. Yeah, I suppose they share some characteristics with lambdas but 'mentally' and syntactically they aren't like them.

                      Yes, I liked it a lot. I found it extremely pleasant to code in and very productive. Drawing screen layouts within the source and very easy database design were real pleasures of productivity.

                        A subroutine is really a function returning void. That is how it is defined and linked in FORTRAN on all the platforms I've used.
