Even C can apply a function variable to an argument (function pointers).

Yes, and Haskell can do it also. But C, I guess, can't print out a source code for a function (well, there can be some weird dialects of C I'm not aware about). Haskell can't do it either.


Well, LISP can, if I remember it right.
