gollark: I actually just copypastaized that from a thing I'm reading on Y combinators.
gollark: Of course it is.
gollark: Now, here's the puzzle: what if you were asked to define the factorial function in Scheme, but were told that you could not use recursive function calls in the definition (for instance, in the factorial function given above you cannot use the word factorial anywhere in the body of the function). However, you are allowed to use first-class functions and higher-order functions any way you see fit. With this knowledge, can you define the factorial function?
gollark: 2013, after Incident 2971.
gollark: Maybe they're secretly on ARM.
