Abandoned
Since infogami has been abandoned by its creators, I’m out too. Back to web.fisher.cx for me. Everything that was here is there.

Kinds of procedures
If you register and log in you can add comments to my pages. If viewing the main blog page, click the # underneath an entry to comment on it.
- Nested: A procedure declared/defined within the scope of another procedure.
- Open/closed: A closure is a type of procedure that captures its environment. EcmaScript & Scheme have closures. The distinction only makes sense if you have nested procedures?
- First-class: If a procedure can be assigned to a variable, passed as an argument, returned, & applied indirectly; it is a first-class procedure. C, EcmaScript, & Scheme have first-class procedures.
- Anonymous: A first-class procedure that doesn't need to be given a name. EcmaScript & Scheme have anonymous procedures.
- Higher-order: Procedures that take other procedures as arguments or return procedures.
Downward funargs is being able to pass a procedure as a parameter? Upwards funargs is being able to return a procedure?
