I like Clojure, but stopped using it due to not having a good way to define DTOs at a service level (I prefer noisy statically typed languages apparently). Best guess.

  (-> {}
    ice
    (rye :2-fingers)
    bitters
    absinthe
    shake
    strain
    garnish)
Now I think that strain flipped the returned type from drink to a glass with the drink.

All this shows is that OO and FP are duals [1]. I don't claim to get FP perfectly, but my moment of zen was realizing this.

Thank you, I had not seen that c2 page. Many in the JavaScript community have fervent arguments for/against closures/objects (which I do not share). The educated debate in that link is a quality resource on the subject.
