But “anonymous recursion” means the language has some special mechanism by which the function can refer to itself without having to explicitly introduce a name.

news.ycombinator.com Igor Klepacki 2025-10-05 05:58:33

When I was younger and I was involved in reverse engineering communities and systems programming, there was this concept called bit flags. They were a standard way of storing a pack of true or false values in ... actually a single value - a function parameter, local variable or entry in some configuration.
