[snip]Case in point: I don't consider XSLT to be functional because of the hoops you have to go through to get something resembling lambda functions. [...]Not exactly lambda-functions, but various ways of creating dynamically new functions are well-known and have been supported with FXSL for years: Yes, those hoops are the ones I was talking about. Closures are something I'd be curious to see done in XSLT, though I still have never come across a programming problem in real life that was best solved by using them. That link was to a discussion on transitive closures (a property of graphs), not the closures I was talking about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_science)]. Not so much OO as one way to implement OO.
