I'm not sure I fully understand your meaning.  You seem to prefer
dynamic languages, which is great because this is the Python list after
all.  I'm not sure I know of any statically compiled language that lets
one construct a function at run-time.  I know Boost supports lambda
functions but I'm not sure this is quite what you are referring to either.
