Damn. I've been coding in Python for 10+ years and never came across this "metaclass" thing. Starts wondering whether I'm rusty and un-hireable. Curious what it is, I read the first result on Google, which goes through an example that I don't understand the point fully, and it concludes with "metaclasses can easily veer into the realm of being a “solution in search of a problem.”"

Oh well, good luck hiring python devs :)

I'd agree more on the closure part in javascript though.

Yeah, I meant this as an example of a clearly absurd "off the top of your head" question, which I believe "what is a closure" is not.
