I came to this article because I have read statements like, "Language X has Closures," and "The Closure of function f is...," and "By line x, closure has occurred." Is Closure a noun or a verb? This article didn't clear it up at all, obviously, both, but then the first line of the abstract, treating it as a noun, keeps other parts of the abstract unclear. Someone knowledgeable should clarify this, and all editors should keep this in mind. (This is in no way a problem limited to this article alone.) --[[User:Limited Atonement|Limited Atonement]] ([[User talk:Limited Atonement|talk]]) 18:07, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 
: The ''act of'' "closing a function over its free variables" results in an object called "''a'' closure". It's usually a noun, but can be used as a verb. I don't think this is a very uncommon phenomena? —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 18:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
