You make it sound like this stuff is new or something. Lisp and other
functional languages have had it for decades. Even JavaScript has it.
Your analogy is also way off... ask any person without legs if they
think about walking. These features of which you speak, someone thought
of them (walking) long before they were implemented into a language
(legs). But just because you think of walking and implement legs to do
so, doesn't mean you can't think of flying, swimming, teleporting, etc.
None of which require legs.

Rob.
