they click their heels three times while chanting the JS Buddhist Mantra: "There's no programming like Functional Programming."

Such an emotional stance. You mad? Who cares how people Define things? Everybody's different, and I think that's what's great about JavaScript. It's flexible enough to be however you want to use it.

Nope. I'm a pretty-chill guy.

I don't care about how people define things. Define them however you want. I only care about how people interact with each other, after they've created their own, private, isolated, disconnected definition of things.

If you want to call the orange thing in your hand a banana, then... great! You do you, boo. But too many times, in tech, I've seen someone decide that the orange thing is now a "banana" - then proceed to use passive-aggressive techniques against anyone else on the team who doesn't also want to call it a banana.
