@peter: I think you made some valid point in there but you could have been more concise and nicer :) https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2018/a-case-study-in-not-being-a-jerk-in-open-source
@Neek: worth noting that your compiled example is not semantically identical to the proposed behavior. In the closure example the persistent variables are initialized at the time the inner function is defined, not at the time it is first called. If it's initialized at the time of function definition then there's no persist access to local variables inside the function itself (although different than C++, not a bad thing imo!).
