Is it possible to create something analogous to an anonymous function whose value can be assigned to an array element and later called? I can’t seem to find a way to do this in a bash script but perhaps there’s a workaround.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Nooooooooooooo.
Complete answer: Functions in bash are not first-class objects, therefore there can be no such thing as an anonymous function in bash.
