A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

when an anonymous object captures a `var` reference from the adjacent scope in one of its methods, does it not see changes to the original reference (i.e., it captures its own reference to the value when the object is created)?

```var foo: String? = null
val bar = object {
    fun doSomething() { println(foo) }
}
foo = "hello world"
bar.doSomething()```

Assuming this is inside a method, then `var foo` will compile to a `kotlin.jvm.internal.Ref.ObjectRef&lt;String&gt;` to hold the number. This way the object can capture the value of that container class to also see any external changes.

oh I think I see what I am doing wrong... chaining the scoping operators is delaying the `var` being set
