You can argue that C does not have first-class functions and I would agree - that was not my point.
The point I was trying to make above is that (in my opinion) having first-class functions is not enough for a language to be called a "lambda language" (meaning functional language). Otherwise practically every current language would be a "lambda language" and the term would not be very useful. And so I would argue that the statement about JS being the first mainsteam lambda langues is simply wrong and the question weather it was predated by Perl irrelevant. In reply to Re^3: The first lambda language to go mainstream ?
