Closures

[Aleksandr Kuzmenko]

Haxe

var notUsedInClosure = 123;
var used = "world";

return function () {
    this.hello(used);
}

PHP

$notUsedInClosure = 123;
$used = "world";

return function () use (&$used) {
    $this->hello($used);
};

Anonymous functions
Support of this in closures requires at least PHP 5.4.

Implemented in adff433 and e9f152e

This is one of the biggest weaknesses of the old genphp.. Except for passing local vars this should be straightforward, no?
PHP 5.4 is no problem, I'd say. 5.5 is the oldes supported version ATM.

[Aleksandr Kuzmenko]

Yes, the only problem is collecting vars available in current scope.

[Andreas Mokros]

There should be code for this in old genphp (as you probably know). The old closure generation needs this as well.
