Not to speak for the OP, but two features bear resemblance to functional programming languages:

1) Function Types ( = higher order functions)

This allows functions to be passed around as function parameters or return values.

2) Immutable variables via let

let a = 1 // a is always bound to the constant 1

a = 2 // error

“The value of a constant doesn’t need to be known at compile time, but you must assign it a value exactly once.”

I couldn't find any built in list/map/set comprehension. Did they leave it out or did I just miss it?
