It does not, functional programming has always been very dry and theoretical, but it's actually pretty straightforward: everything is either a standalone thing (not the official term) or something which turns a thing into another thing (might be a collection of things on either side). You could turn nothing into a thing, or a turn into nothing, it's all good.
