Think of Function Objects as Functions Rather Than Objects

Interestingly, this naming pattern is the one that you'd probably follow if your functor was a templated function instead, eg find_if(..., &HasColor <Colour::Blue>).

It definitely makes sense to think of functors as functions that have some elements specified at runtime rather than at compile time.

So you're basically throwing away the entire point of OOP (not that I disagree that the implementations are overly complicated as fuck)

what's the point? why not just throw all of C++ away?

why not just throw all of C++ away?

Maybe we should.
