Is it you? Moscow, 1993? Still doing Smalltalk? You're lucky. The rest of us were forced out of Smalltalk in ~1997. Vadim quit, in part because of this. Andre held on as long as possible. Most of the others never did get it. The newer hires have never heard of it. I'd love to hear from you. Pls contact me at [address removed to prevent harvesting by spambots --v].

I think you meant to write; | add inc | add := [:a | [:b | a + b]]. inc := add value: 1. (inc value: 2) + (inc value: 3) Vassili

I believe your code snippet is incorrect, as it will not evaluate.
I think you meant to write;

| add inc |
add := [:a | [:b | a + b]].
inc := add value: 1.
(inc value: 2) + (inc value: 3)

I just heard this term during a podcast on dynamic languages by some guys that were Smalltalkers (Ruby was their game). They struggled to explain this concept. As you can imagine it's difficult to do without code examples. Now, thanks to you, I understand it. Sean Thanks for the explanation!
