Shameless plug: https://aplaceofmind.notion.site/It-s-Lambdas-All-the-Way-Do...

I got to the same conclusion a while ago, except that I found that it's lambdas all the way down.

"Lambdas" and functions are not different things, in a functional-programming perspective (i.e. where you're operating with referential transparency and immutable objects anyway). The lambda syntax is just function-definition syntax that doesn't include an implicit name binding.

exactly, I found that you don't even need labels for functions to be able to do programming.
