Do Javascript programmers program in terms of function applications, or do they program in terms of sequences of state-changing operations?
If they do the first, then Javascript is a functional language. But without even a function composition or application operator (or function), it's obvious tht Javascript is not intended to be functional. It's an imperative/OO language with lambdas, like Common Lisp.
