I have a question about how V8 deals with closures. I understand that the variable environment becomes part of the function object, I dont know if this is re-written in place when the variables in it's [[scope]] change, and how these are dealt with in memory since the functions as they execute are pushed on and popped off the stack. Does the handler (HandleScope I believe has something to do with it) write a new definition with the new environment variables? Sorry if this is an unclear question, Im a newer developer and this is a curious behavior that I want to thoroughly understand. This may actually be a behavior that isnt unique to closures and perhaps all functions are treated the same in the heap, but Im truly curious and cant figure this out looking through the V8 documentation.
