- WilliamLP 16y agoIs "square: (x) -> x*x" more modern syntax, or simply more functional? It surely isn't a new idea, maybe as old as Lisp, and a number of other new languages are explicitly imperative.
- rbxbx 16y agoPerhaps even the syntax JS should have had from the beginning, with it's heavy Lisp inspiration.
