That doesn’t appear to be the case, a resource can be returned, but this is block scoped. It appears to be closer to a using statement in C#.
- TJSomething 3y agoBased on my reading of the spec, you can't actually return a resource, since the disposal semantics need to map exactly to calling [Symbol.dispose] in a finally block at the end of the current block. Also, unlike C#, you can have multiple using statements in the same block, which will be disposed of in LIFO order.
- monkpit 3y agoYou can create a resource without “using” it immediately, though.
