No less hospitable than JavaScript, which was my point.

I disagree strongly w.r.t. Python as anonymous lambdas are heavily restricted there. I disagree less strongly but also somewhat insistently about Ruby where the distinction between methods and functions is warranted but thus involves more overhead.

JavaScript is hospitable enough that you see entire applications written in a functional style. Where is the Python and Ruby applications written mostly in a functional style? I've never seen any.
