Won't you lose the convenience of lexical scoping when creating first-class functions?

its a tradeoff, relying too heavily on lexical scoping makes things harder
to understand and harder to modularize (you cant share lexical scope
between modules). a nice side effect of decoupled functions is the explicit
interface and lack of magical-seeming shared variables

sometimes its nice to put a function inside another function to take
advantage of the lexical scope convenience, but I personally go more than 1
level deep

Thanks for the comment. I've heard the same elsewhere... it depends!
