“SICP and some of the Sussman & Steele "Lambda the ..." papers made a big impression on me years before, although I did not understand their full meaning then.Remember, I was recruited to "do Scheme" [...] My interest in languages such as Self informed a subversive agenda [...].

e.g. passing functions around
Friday, May 11, 12
we see a lot of this
Friday, May 11, 12
1st, we extract what is common
Friday, May 11, 12
then we refactor our functions
Friday, May 11, 12
and we send them as arguments
Friday, May 11, 12
e.g. closures not only for objects
Friday, May 11, 12
we see a lot of this
Friday, May 11, 12
we can keep writeComment as it is

and we add a function with two closures
immutable

Friday, May 11, 12
e.g. functions all the way down
Friday, May 11, 12
we see a lot of this
Friday, May 11, 12
first we extract common protocol
Friday, May 11, 12
then we clean up our functions
Friday, May 11, 12
then we use them.
Friday, May 11, 12
then we use them. redundant?
