On the other hand, you recently posted this snippet to the list:
((let ((n 3))
(let ((f (lambda () n)))
(set! n 7)
f)))
Setting aside the fact that C doesn't have anonymous functions, I'll
approximate it as best I can:
static int n = 3;
int f()
{
return n;
}
int main()
{
n = 7;
return f();
}
C: 10
Scheme: 20
