Wholeheartedly agree. Simplicity is a virtue. I am using lots of small
and anonymous functions. I like the fact that Lua has only one way of
creating the closures. I do not mind to type "function(...) ... end"
each time. When reading the code I have not noticed any extra clutter
stemming from the full syntax compared to language like Ruby that
provide short-cuts.
