You don’t have to be a software developer to appreciate this piece; mainly you have to enjoy reading what a master has to say about his craft.

Feel free to skip the first half and just look at how he created his diagrams. Such beautiful work, and so incredibly time-consuming.

Oh, no, another developer who confuses
first-class functions with

I find that a lot of people don’t understand closures well. Probably because they are used closures in place of a function, and therefore weren’t using them to their full potential.

To be fair to them, a lot of documentation makes the mistake of conflating closures with first-class functions because the former are required for implementing the latter in languages with lexical scope.
