Re: [Maxima-discuss] lambda([a], lambda([b], 10*a+b)) (2) (3);

[Stavros M. <mac...@gm...>]

Maxima currently supports only dynamic scope.

You can simulate lexical scope using *buildq*, which is pretty much
equivalent to backquote:


F: lambda([a], buildq([a], lambda([b], 10*a+b)))$
F(3) => lambda([b],10*3+b)

F(3)(5) => 35


This is admittedly ugly.
