Not quite with directness of JS.

Again you can get something equivalent, but not without some ceremony. It’s not as frictionless as with JS.

I'm not sure how much less friction you want than directly declaring lambdas, or LINQ, or any of the newer functional constructs.

Like I said, if you want more functional, there's F#, which is a dialect of ML.

I think your problem is just structural vs nominal typing, in that you can’t get away from the former.
