Anonymous functions, or lambdas, are unlabeled inline routines delimited by curlies in languages such as Postscript and Tal. A lambda block is jumped over, and a pointer to the start of the lambda is pushed to the top of the return stack.
A higher-order function is a function that takes a function as an argument or returns one as a result, lambdas are useful as these intermediate functions.
