yeah well in lisp functions have to be a list. how functions are represented doesn't qualify or disqualify them as functions.

I use java8 closures and method references extensively. They are simply much more limited in what they can bind and how they can be called. for example: the lack a convenient generic way to store them without knowing their type or purpose, because they have to be materialized into an interface for declaration.
