But objects have fixed code with variable data. Closures can have variable code with variable data, including user-specified behavior passed in to a constructor or a mutator. So, yes, objects can do *some* of the things that closures do, but not all. Think of closures as "variables that hold behavior". Sure, maybe you've never needed that in your legendary 25 years in the industry, but I've used it *frequently* in my 30 years. :) -- Randal L.
