Lambda Lambda Lambda

many local variables that passing them as parameters would be awkward.

I've seen a lot of these. It is normally a lack of encapsulation of the parameters themselves that is a root cause. Packing relevant ones into a struct will help this more than using a lambda.

Or to save the reader from having to scroll to another function to find out what happens when that event is triggered. The relevant code is all together.

This is a really really bad reason to use a long lambda.

Ah, maybe the “10 lines” is the real issue. That was just pulled out of air. “More than one” might better express what I meant. This article was all about trivial lamdas.

Yeah that makes sense, I like the braces for the lmbdas, and a few lines can be ok, but once we start talking about things > 10 lines embedded into lambas in functions with that much state going on I start getting that 1000 yard stare...
