The following algorithm is one way to lambda-lift an arbitrary program in a language which doesn't support closures as first-class objects: Rename the functions so that each function has a unique name. Replace each free variable with an additional argument to the enclosing function, and pass that argument to every use of the function.
C++11 allowed lambda functions to deduce the return type based on the type of the expression given to the return statement. C++14 provides this ability to all functions. It also extends these facilities to lambda functions, allowing return type deduction for functions that are not of the form return expression;.
The term closure is often used as a synonym for anonymous function, though strictly, an anonymous function is a function literal without a name, while a closure is an instance of a function, a value, whose non-local variables have been bound either to values or to storage locations (depending on the language; see the lexical environment section below).
The simply typed lambda calculus has only one type constructor, the arrow , and its only types are basic types and function types. System T extends the simply typed lambda calculus with a type of natural numbers and higher-order primitive recursion ; in this system all functions provably recursive in Peano arithmetic are definable.
In fact computability can itself be defined via the lambda calculus: a function F: N → N of natural numbers is a computable function if and only if there exists a lambda expression f such that for every pair of x, y in N, F(x)=y if and only if f x = β y, where x and y are the Church numerals corresponding to x and y, respectively and = β ...

(Here we use the standard notations and conventions of lambda calculus: Y is a function that takes one argument f and returns the entire expression following the first period; the expression . ( ) denotes a function that takes one argument x, thought of as a function, and returns the expression ( ), where ( ) denotes x applied to itself ...
