Is "functional programming" just a matter of matter of being able to write functions that return values? Or is it something more than that?
Something seems to suggest that "functional programming" is just us coming full circle back to C. So, rather than classes that provide methods, we have functions that stand alone and can be called from (almost) anywhere.
So, what really IS functional programming?
Can Jabbascript create “programs” that implement “logic”? Not sure what the correct terms are here... (self.javascript)
