I typically use closures to do this in other languages, but the syntax is always so cumbersome. You get the "dog balls" that Douglas Crockford always called them:

``` const config = (() => { const raw_data = ...

  ...

  return compiled;

const result = config.whatever;

// carry on

return result; ```

Really wish block were expressions in more languages.

It's convenient I will say that. I've tried not to replicate this exactly and instead have adminer running on a server on the network but only listening to localhost connections. To get access to it you can then SSH tunnel the ports locally:

> # Route 8082 on your machine to localhost:8080 on the server: > ssh -N -L 8082:localhost:8080 db.devopsdomain.com

  ^(<(<(<(<(<(<<>>)*>)*>)*>)*>)*>)*$

  ^(((?<P><)|(?<-P>>))*(?(P)(?!)))$

The function may reference the variable `card` but by the time the first one is triggered the for-loop had already decremented the variable to 0.
