How can I return a function side-effecting lexical closure1 in Scala?
For instance, I was looking at this code sample in Go:
...
// fib returns a function that returns
// successive Fibonacci numbers.
func fib() func() int {
a, b := 0, 1
return func() int {
a, b = b, a+b
return b
}
}
...
println(f(), f(), f(), f(), f())
prints 1 2 3 5 8
And I can't figure out how to write the same in Scala.
