Javascript closure support?

General JUCE discussion
1 
function greeter(whatToGreet)
{
    return function() { Demo.print("hello " + whatToGreet + "!"); };
}
Demo.print( greeter("closure")() );

the code above will print hello undefined!
It seems javascript engine doesn’t support closure, Is there some plan to support this feature?

The JUCE Javascript implementation is fairly minimal - if you want full modern JS support you might want to look at adding V8, Spidermonkey or another embedded JS engine to your project.

Integrating duktape isn’t totally crazy either. It’s pretty lightweight and is straightforward enough to set up and use.

wow, this library is exactly what i want. Althouth not as fancy as v8, but simple and powerful enough.
Thank you very much!
