This sounds super hairy, but that’s because cyclic dependencies are hairy in general. The key point here is that Wren can handle them in the rare cases where you need them.

Exiting a module early #

+

Although the return statement is normally used to exit from a method or a function, it can also be used from a module’s top-level code to exit the module. For example, if the script consists of a single module, this code would exit the module (and therefore the script) early:

+
+for (i in 1..2) {
+  if (i == 2) return
+  System.print(i)  //>  prints 1 but not 2
+}
+System.print(3)    //>  not reached
+
+ +

Although it is not invalid to return a value, there is no way to access that value and it is therefore simply discarded.
