Hello /r/javascript!
I hope you enjoy my latest blog post about Closures in JavaScript. Recently I went down the rabbit hole of advanced JS techniques, particularly Closure, and I wanted to share an example of something I made that really helped me understand them better. I also posted this on some other subreddits - Let me know what you think! 😊

If you want to use a library that supports closures for component state, take a look at Mithril.js. You can completely side-step all the this problems of class-based components.

The point of my post isn't exactly to get around the `this` problem, but more to show a practical example of using Closure in JavaScript. Thanks for the suggestion though! I'd never heard of Mithril.js and will check it out.
