Python had lambda in 1994. JS didn’t even exist then.

Face it - people use JS because the browser happened, not because it’s original in any meaningful way.

JS didn’t invent lambdas, it made them popular. Or is it just a coincidence that every major language that didn’t have them, adopted them after they got real use in JS?
