I've been programming for about 10 years now, I do NOT need you to come and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. All your reply said is "I'm not answering that" or "That's a matter of opinion" give me a break! So because your opinion is it is complex and useless it shouldn't be added? Isn't that a matter of opinion? If you are dismissing my opinion that it is NOT complex and it is NOT useless I can just as easily dismiss yours.
I mean COME ON!! When did you EVER see a interpreted language with functions inside functions? Or a compiled language for that sake? There's a REASON you know!
Python supports local function definitions. Pascal/Object Pascal/Delphi supports nested functions (as does Innerfuse Pascal scripting, an interpreted language). Algol supports nested functions. The C++ library Boost supports local functions in the form of Lambda functions. The gcc compiler will let you use a local function in C. Fortran 90 includes "contained functions" which are essentially local functions. As of Perl 5, perl supports nested functions (perl is also an interpreted language). PHP supports nested functions (PHP is also an interpreted language). (Edit) I forgot, Ruby also supports nested functions (Ruby is also an interpreted language). Also in C++, you can declare a local class which in turn can have member functions which then act as local functions. Java also supports function local classes. Javascript also supports local functions (Javascript is also an interpreted language).
But you're right, I'M the one who needs to learn more about programming because I don't know what I'm talking about. So I guess you must be right, no languages support nested functions... except the dozen languages I just mentioned there. I'm sure there are many more languages that support nested functions, however I think I've proved my point.
