How to access the callback's initial environment?

[sadovnik]

Blocks that were provided to the EventEmmiter as callbacks are evaluated inside the Client class. It's easy to check:

ws.on :open do
  puts self
end

Will output:

#<WebSocket::Client::Simple::Client:0x007f890bc50698>

So code like follows wont work:

state = :initial

ws.on :open do
  state = :connected
end

What's the convenient way to access the initial environment where the block was created?

[Kirillvs]

Maybe this way:

state = :initial
set_state = ->(s) { state = s }  
ws.on :open do
  set_state.call(:connected)
end

It works because lambda catchs current environment, and inside lamda block will be the old receiver.
