You are the only troll here.  Evidence is marked below.

You have not the slightest clue what you are talking about.  For how long 
have you been reading the newsgroup, a week or so?  The record shows that 
Julio Di Egidio and I are anything *but* pals.  In fact, I had him killfiled 
a long time ago (which is why I posted a follow-up to your posting, not 
his).

That does not change the fact that he is *correct* in his choice of 
terminology there.

And that is where he is *correct*.

If you had read more carefully, you would have realized that the term 
“first-class object” does _not_ imply object-oriented programming.

But there is a difference between a functional programming language (like 
ECMAScript implementations), where the functional programming paradigm can 
be used, and a *pure* functional programming language (like Haskell), where 
*only* the functional programming paradigm (and related paradigms) can be 
used.

Yeah, have you looked into a mirror lately?
