Notes

This week\\u2019s episode covers the basics of all sorts of functions: normal functions, methods, and closures.

Closures

\\n
• An explanation (in Ruby) by Martin Fowler
\\n
• Rust book
\\n
• Rust by Example
\\n
• \\u201cWhat is a closure?\\u201d (Progammers Stack Exchange) \\u2013 the first answer is the best, but the second answer may be a helpful stepping stone for people just getting their heads around this and coming from OOP languages like C++ or Java (even though I disagree with the explanation in some ways).
\\n
• \\u201cWhat is a closure?\\u201d (Stack Overflow) \\u2013 careful, thorough answer using JavaScript as an example.
