gollark: Nope.
gollark: (it works with non-arrow functions, I just like these more)
gollark: Functions implicitly do it:```javascriptconst thing = () => { let v = 0 return () => { return v++ }}const incrementer = thing()console.log(incrementer())console.log(incrementer())```
gollark: The thing where functions capture their scope.
gollark: ```lualet otherTesting = [];for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { otherTesting[i] = function() { console.log(i); }}```does the same thing so I suppose it's just weirdness with closure in loops.
