A Thunk is a beguilingly
simple-looking question about
everyday things that stops you
in your tracks and helps you
start to look at the world in a
whole new light
In computer programming, a
thunk is a subroutine that is
created, often automatically,
to assist a call to another
subroutine. Thunks are
primarily used to represent an
additional calculation that a
subroutine needs to execute,
or to call a routine that does
not support the usual calling
mechanism. They have a variety
of other applications to
compiler code generation and
modular programming.
