Summary Table
graphical breakdown of the two and the features we think are important for each
Closures
closures are associated with functional programming
First-class functions
closures are typically first-class functions (define first-class functions)
Execution-time environment contains free variables
closures capture variables referenced at the time they are created and the lifetime of those captured variables is extended to at least as long as the lifetime of the closure
Methods
methods and classes are associated with object-oriented programming
Instance or static class functions
methods are functions associated with an object
Execution-time environment contains instance or static variables
methods operate on state associated with an object (environment is closed, but defined by the programmer at compile time)
