Function Type - func

The function type is a special type that represents a function. It is used to define functions and to call functions by storing them in variables.

The function type is at the moment only half implemented, meaning that it is not possible to pass generic arguments to specify the type, nor is it possible to call the function stored. This will be added in a future release, though the syntax is already defined.

Examples

Storing a simple function

def func1() -> void {
    return;
}

var storedRef = func1;

Storing a built-in function

var storedRef = print;

X Calling a function reference

def func2() -> void {
    return;
}

var storedRef = func2;
func2(); // Not possible at the current version
