Yep, the scoping rules and closure behavior are shamelessly stolen from Scheme. Those guys seem to know what they're doing :-) On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 12:08 PM, Michael Francis wrote: > thanks - so it take the scheme approach to closures. The let keyword > allows the inverse. > > On Thursday, Feb

Yes, this is expected. Have a look at the scope section of the manual, it also has examples on how to get the behaviour (I suspect) you want. On Thu, 2015-02-05 at 16:26, Michael Francis wrote: > function test() > x = 2 > f = (()->x + 3) > println( f() ) # Prints 5 Yeh! > x = 4 >
