The "environment model" differs from the "substitution model" by lazily recording substitutions in a map Textbook: ... An example of how environment-model evaluation works. Substitution-model evaluation is list-like; environment-model, tree-like. Modifying the parser and AST to incorporate type annotations on `let` bound variables Textbook: The environment-model semantics of functions requires careful attention to scope Textbook: Implementing the evaluation of integer constants in the calculator interpreter Textbook: The semantics of `let` uses a notion of substitution, but, how should that be defined? These examples lend intuition. Textbook: ...

A "closure" is a data structure containing the code for a function, as well as the environment that "closes" off its free variables. A substitution-model semantics for functions requires a notion of how to substitute inside the body of a function. Getting that right is ...
