This came up in another question, and I’ve been searching for a conclusive answer for a while now. What makes something definitively an anonymous type? Is it just simply a type created without a name, or are there more structural nuances than that?
When I say anonymous type I mean something like an anonymous class in Java.
In general the term anonymous really just means without name. This is also the case with anonymous types.
The different nuances are probably the patterns and circumstances in which anonymous types are used, compared to named types. But other than that, I don’t see any differences.
