1. Nested functions should inherit constants from parent scopes, but not local variables. At the moment the former works, but when trying to (incorrectly) use a local variable from an outer scope in an inner function, the compiler crashes: foo :: () { x := 42; X :: 69; bar :: () int { return x; } /* not fine; breaks */ baz :: () int { return X; } /* totally fine */ } This is presumably due to the compiler maintaining a single tree of scopes where a scope contains information for both constants and variables. If this is indeed the cause, then there should most probably be separate scope-trees; one which has scopes for constants, and one which has scopes for variables. 2. Recursive functions crash the compiler. foo :: () { return foo(); } /* breaks */
