Understanding JavaScript Closures

One JavaScript concept that finally clicked for me was closures. Not the textbook definition. The practical part. A function remembers the variables around it, even after that outer function is done running. So state can live quietly where you don’t see it, but it’s still there. At first this felt like magic. Then it felt dangerous. Now it feels useful. Most bugs I’ve had with closures weren’t because JS was weird. They were because I forgot what my code was holding onto. #JavaScript #Coding #Programming
