"To my surprise, making decisions about how scope should work was actually the hardest part."
Perhaps a thorough reading of SICP would enlighten you as to how scope should be handled if you don't want to run into problems with it.
- Udo 14y agoI know SICP, it's great. However, arguments from authority only get one so far. I think it's definitely worth experimenting with different paradigms. And I'm not done yet. However, there is something to be said for not taking "the standard way of doing things" at face value all the time, even if that means arriving at the exact same solution in the end. To my defense though, different languages behave in different ways in this respect, so at least I'm not violating the entire collective wisdom of computing (just a part of it).
