Lambdas in Modern C++

Presented by Allan Deutsch

Just to make it clear to everyone, a lambda is not quite the same thing as a closure. A closure is simply a lambda that can capture variables outside of its parameter list. The presenter didn't really make that very clear at the beginning.

Really good tutorial. On slide 33, shouldn't the syntax be using (...) instead of {...}? As in: auto print = make_overload ( [](int i){ ...}, [](string s){...} );

Everything about Lambdas at one place...Pretty cool... :-)

I use lambdas to store callables in e.g a map<string, std::function> CALLABLE_STUFF...it works for me, but I have no idea if this is a good idea.

at about 10:20: can you even name a variable "double"…?

templated lambda is available in C++14

"Modern" and "C++" are two words that cannot go in the same sentence, other than "C++ is not modern". It is an oxymoron.
