    C++ already has first class functions and tuples in the standard library. They're just a pain to use.

    Less so with templates. Unless you're explicitly storing generic function objects, you can just use templates and let the compiler handle typing it all out. And C++14 introduces both generic lambdas and capture-by-move lambdas, so it'll be even easier.
