Hi, I have started working with the X10 language and had a question, hope you can help me... At the guide, http://x10.sourceforge.net/documentation/languagespec/x10-latest.pdf at page 206 (at the end) it is writen that:: ---------------------- "Example: Note that recursive definitions of local variables is not allowed. There are few useful recursive declarations of objects and structs; x, in the following example, has no meaningful definition. Recursive declarations of local functions is forbidden, even though (like f below) there are meaningful uses of it." ---------------------- My question is: 1. Why doesn't it make sense to have recursive local variables 2. Why does it make sense to have recursive local functions declarations? 3. What are the difficulties in implementing nested functions and procedures I hope you could help me understand better.. Best regards!
