Hello,

Just curious about this.

If I put:

static Void main()
{
  a := 15
  b := [1,3,5,7,9]
  b.each |val| { if (val > 6) { a = val } echo("val is $val, a is $a") }
  echo("a is $a")
}

into a class and run it, I see:

val is 1, a is 15
val is 3, a is 15
val is 5, a is 15
val is 7, a is 7
val is 9, a is 9
a is 9

However, if I type every line (well, not the static Void... line or the braces) into fansh, I see the val is... lines, but at the end, a is 15. Expected behavior?

I saw this issue earlier, here's even shorter example which illustrates the problem:

fansh> i := 0 
0
fansh> 2.times { echo(i++) }
0
1
fansh> i
0

This happens because of the way fansh works - generally speaking it maintains a global scope of variables and compiles every command its own pod which gets a copy of global scope, but then after execution this local scope is not being merged back to global scope.

Yeah unfortunately is just the shortcuts we take to make fansh to work - essentially what it is doing is generating a script each time, then pulling out all the locals and storing them into a map.
