Here is a simple example:

    package main

    import "fmt"

    func plusTwo() (func(v int) (int)) {
        return func(v int) (int) {
            return v+2
        }
    }

    func plusX(x int) (func(v int) (int)) {
       return func(v int) (int) {
           return v+x
       }
    }

    func main() {
        p := plusTwo()
        fmt.Printf("3+2: %d\n", p(3))

        px := plusX(3)
        fmt.Printf("3+3: %d\n", px(3))
    }
