Design Patterns Involving Closures

Background

What is a closure?

According to Peter Norvig's <ref>Design Patterns in Dynamic Languages</ref>, closures can be considered "behaviors with attached state data and without the overhead of classes." This is the inverse of objects, which are state data with behaviors attached, and closures encapsulate local state variables.
