This is perhaps a crazy question! Forgive my ignorance! I start with something like this: iex> f = fn -> IO.puts("hi") end #Function<45.79398840/0 in :erl_eval.expr/5> I am wondering if I know 45.79398840/0, how is it possible to recreate the function? Something like new_f = make_function_someh…

Probably not what you are looking for based on your first post, but just so you know, you can “store” a more “serializable” function reference using the module and function name as an atom, for example: defmodule Bla do def ble(n), do: "#{n}" end apply(Bla, :ble, [0])
