Line 589:
I think a small blurb about free variables is warranted. The linked article heavily concerns mathematical free variables and only has one small out of the way line saying "oh by the way free variables in computer science are references to non local variables" and that line even has a citation needed marking. My brain somehow parsed over that line and left me confused on the definition of closures for hours.

== Example bloat ==
I removed the majority of the ''"in language x"'' examples from the article ({{diff|Closure (computer science)|prev|309942281|diff}}). As a rule of thumb, at most one example (in either Scheme or JavaScript, as per earlier consensus?) should be sufficient to illustrate any given concept: repeating it in everyone's favorite programming language just clutters the article. <span style="white-space:nowrap">—[[User:Piet Delport|Piet Delport]] <small>2009-08-25 10:57</small></span>
