The crux of the post seems to be that because Ruby has lambdas, it is an acceptable alternative.
In my experience, being that I'm learning Haskell and coming from a Ruby background, merely having lambdas doesn't qualify for functional status.
- Maascamp 18y agoWell said. The latest version of PHP is going to have lambdas, and I'm quite certain that it's not a Lisp.
- jrockway 18y agoIts lambdas don't even close over lexical state, so I'm not sure why they even exist. Yet another concept the PHP designers don't get, I guess, but feel pressured to add. (See also: PHP's object system.)
