I've used recursive pseudo-anonymous functions before. _SELF would make
them easier to use.
f((function()
local function inside_anonymous(args, I, should, take)
end
return inside_anonymous
end)())
You just need a Y-combinator:
function Y(f)
local function g(...) return f(g,...) end
return g
end
print(Y(function(rec, x)
if x < 2 then
return 1
else
return x * rec(x-1)
end
end)(5))
That will allow you to call an anonymous function recurively from within
the anonymous function. No need for _SELF in this case.
