Pascal, for example, had lexical scoping back in the 1970s, but no closures.
Well, it kind of had a limited form of closure. You could pass a procedure or function *in* to another procedure or function as a parameter, but there was no way to return one or pass it out in any way. This ensured that the passed-in procedure or function couldn't outlive its lexical environment. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
