Re: Re: (On Speed Diff, etc.) Closure on Closures (beta)

I've seen objects actually implemented with a closure (like in this tutorial), as a way to give your objects a 'private/public' distinction. I wonder what would that do to performance...

Right, that's a very clever use of closure. Maybe I didn't read enough, but I don't see such technique being used too often. It's good for avoiding more deliberate tempering with variables in a package. Isn't the usual lexical scope good enough to avoid accidental clashes between things?	[reply]
