@bascule@ErrataRob@maradydd it's functional without enforcement, essentially. -

@ErrataRob@bascule@maradydd oh there are lots of languages that are stricter than JavaScript. Single assignment etc

@ErrataRob@maradydd@dakami vars are mutable. JavaScript has no first-class way to guarantee immutable state -
@bascule@ErrataRob@maradydd@dakami what about const keyword? supported in ff/chrome and part of es6 proposal -
@bcrypt@ErrataRob@maradydd@dakami ok, sure, that counts ;)

@bascule@ErrataRob@dakami there's functional idioms & there's functional. JS is on its way w/the idioms and I agree w/you about the rest. -
@maradydd@ErrataRob@dakami when people stop using callbacks and promises and switch to FRP and streams I’ll agree about the former ;) -
@bascule@ErrataRob@dakami engineering progresses one callback hell too many at a time
