I actually see where you're coming from and, it's true, closures (lambdas with their own mutable internal state) and objects are very easy to interconvert once you know why you'd want that kind of thing. My point, though, is that knowing why you'd want it is helped greatly by having the simpler notation.

Yes, but that's just an internal (and recent) optimization, not how the language is designed or specified. There is no way to serve JS bytecode and have the browser execute it, nor is there even a standard for what that bytecode would look like.

To be fair, i think there is a ton of more object-oriented programmers than functional programmers out there right now. It would be more interesting (and healthy) for them to read about FP considering how multiprocessing is becoming an increasingly relevant subject.

The /3GB switch is for 32-bit systems, it doesn't exist on 64. To enable more than 2 GB for a 32-bit program on a 64-bit system, you just set a flag in the exe file header. Google for LARGEADDRESSAWARE.

Technically speaking, the engine doesn't have generic types. Erasure is a compiler trick. Which could be seen to be a good thing.
