A defunctive procession of candlebearers moved slowly toward the old cemetery.

During optimization, the compiler applied defunctionalization to convert higher-order functions into calls to a single first-order apply function, improving runtime performance.

The team catalogued numerous defunctionalizations across legacy systems to understand failure patterns.

The team spent the weekend defunctionalizing legacy modules to reduce security risks.

After the firmware update, the old security protocols were defunctionalized to prevent compatibility issues.

After the compatibility patch, the firmware defunctionalizes outdated interfaces to focus resources on modern protocols.

To improve runtime efficiency, the compiler will defunctionalize higher-order callbacks into a compact table paired with a switch statement.
