All the "native" LC functions are nouns.
Um, no.
That's just sematic sugar the xtalk language creates around some functions.
So
put the date
put the target
is the same as
put date()
put target()
Ruby allows the same thing, albeit in a more generic form, i.e. you can
create your own function and call it either way.
Yeah, but semantically they're all (or mostly all) nouns so that the
"the" can be there. I believe there are some commands that are actually
functions too, but we don't have to care about it.
