Re: Short form for defining a function (Was: try-catch ...)

[Jonne Ransijn <yoyoyonny@...>]

Something like

function fn(s)
    local args, body = s:match "^%s(%b())(.+)$"
    return (loadstring or load)("return function "..args.." return " ..body.." end")
end

print (fn "(a, b) a + b" (1, 2)) -- 3

Would work too, no need to overload operators.
