I've seen the question asked on stackoverflow before. It will be a very subtle bug that scala does not catch for you. You just have to have the discpline not to nest multiple anonymous functions with underscore arguments. There's no way for the compiler to disallow it because it cannot tell a mistake from something that is intentional. On Sun, Dec 29, 2013 at 8:39 AM, harry <voldermort@hotmail.com> wrote:

If you write
map (foo 4 'f' (bar _) 5 'j')
How would the compiler know whether you meant
map (\x -> foo 4 'f' (bar x) 5 'j') or map (foo 4 'f' (\x -> bar x) 5 'j') ?
Interesting question, what does Scala do for this? I guess there would be a rule of always binding to the outermost or innermost scope.
