Sunanda, regarding your example
template: make object! [
f1: func [a b] [a + b]
f2: func [a b] [a * b]
v1: now
v2: []
v3: copy []
]
Could I change the template into this:
a1: func [a b] [a + b]
inst1: make template [f1: :a1]
inst2: make template [f1: :a1]
If the answer is yes, what about the scope of a and b ?
I need to make 10000 instances of the same object but the code of the
functions must be reused and be able to access the local variables. It is
too memory consuming having 10000 times the same 4/5 kind of codes.
