Secrets of JavaScript Closures
Category: JavaScript
Stuart Langridge gave what looks like a great talk on the secrets of JavaScript closures.

He does go on to show issues with holding on to references and leaking memory, as well as many other details on closures. Clicking through presentations often doesn’t give you much… but in this case I found it very interesting indeed.

I guess though for IE (which have a terrible Garbage Collector) he is right, though who uses that browser anymore … ;)
That next slide is exactly what I think of IE too.
