I would be interested in other opinions. My feeling is that lexical binding comes - while the principle is not hard to understand - with a larger space of non-trivial implications and stuff that you can do, or techniques to learn, all things that are work to understand for the human brain that can only grasp one aspect at a time. Like knowing how to build a wardrobe is not the same as knowing what a hammer, nails, a saw and wood is. Michael.
