If that's all, I'm thoroughly confused.

button.onclick = mymethod

is some sort of revelation compared to:

button.addClickListener(#mymethod);

(yes, closures are nice things, and if that's what this is all about,
that's fine, but the word wasn't mentioned once in the entire podcast,
hence my confusion).

Using += as a list append operator is not universally considered a
good idea, and for good reason. Operators are great when the operation
is usually done as part of a massive chain - 5 + 2 * 10 is much more
readable than 5.add(2.multiply(10)). add doesn't qualify.


So, 'components' just means: "Closures + modules"? In that case, I'm
all for it.
