The developer also created a visualization of each team's minor league system [1]. It's an interesting visualization and a useful project [2] that shows the entire data analysis process from scraping data to published visualization.

I like first class functions. I get hung up on the trash example in this essay though. To show the commonality of verbs in a person's general understanding Yegge says 'get the garbage bag from under the sink'. WTF (Who the fuck) 'gets' the garbage? I do. 'I' is implied. I get the garbage from under the sink. Or perhaps 'Steve' gets the garbage from under the sink. These are nouns (or pronouns, whatever).

If anything, verbs do nothing without a noun to do them, and nouns need verbs to do anything. So perhaps we should just acknowledge the value of traits, objects, and functions and move on. Forgive me (but correct me first) if I have missed something massive here... I'm trying to drink as much as Steve is alleged to while writing this comment.
