Blocks in C, not C++Blocks in C, not C++Posted Sep 16, 2009 22:46 UTC (Wed) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: Blocks in C, not C++ by ncm Parent article: Tornado and Grand Central Dispatch: a quick look
I will note further that the Lambda feature in C++ has different syntax from Blocks, and there will be strong pressure, particularly from implementers, on the C committee to match the C++ Lambda syntax, i.e. using "[]" where Apple's Blocks uses "^". (Ironically, "[]" looks typographically more like a block, and "^" looks more like a lambda.) I expect Apple to support both syntaxes in the end.

But [] is used by objective C to call methods, so Apple is likely to not support this, at least not OS
X's most-supported language.
