The search for easier safe systems programming

Callable may have been the wrong word. I think I meant delegate. (I do work with Godot, but not in C#. Some wires must’ve gotten crossed)

Regardless of the actual word, there is an extra thing I need to do to pass a function to a higher order function as an argument.

I was using this as an example to demonstrate how C#’s support for the language features I like require some ceremony which reduce expressiveness and require me to think about the language more.

You didn’t. The example does not exist and the terms you used don’t apply to C#.

Post an actual example (code).

Delegate is a C# term and was what I was talking about

I need to create a delegate for any function I want to pass around.

Trolling is bad, consider asking ChatGPT or reading documentation first, thanks.

    var func1 = (int i) => i + i;
    var func2 = () => func1(1) * 2;
    
    Console.WriteLine(func1(4) + func2());
