Thanks for replying.

I think I missed the significance of your narrowed definition of recursion, and didn't apply it the way you intended when I read the article. I admit to my bad reading.

I went on to discuss your article with an LLM and used the experiences I've had _using_ some functional approaches in JS to help it give me a tutorial on the combinators, to try to better understand your article and the underlying principles. I "mostly get it" now, but I will have to go over it a couple more times.

You shared a thought-provoking article, even if I didn't immediately get your intended lesson out of it.
