Proc literal
A captured block is the same as declaring a Proc literal and passing it to the method.
def some_proc(&block : Int32 -> Int32)
block
end
x = 0
proc = ->(i : Int32) { x += i }
proc = some_proc(&proc)
proc.call(1) # => 1
proc.call(10) # => 11
x # => 11
As explained in the proc literals section, a Proc can also be created from existing methods:
def add(x, y)
x + y
end
adder = ->add(Int32, Int32)
adder.call(1, 2) # => 3
