minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·8 months agoIs the duality statement meant to be true in a technical sense?
minus-squarejkrtnlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoYeah! For example, if the language allows closures to capture state, they can act like properties on an instance.
