It's a fairly loose chain of reasoning, but it's not wholly incomprehensible.</p> I’ve seen “code as data” used to refer to higher-order functions before - and it’s an interpretation that sort of makes sense: if you let “closure” mean “something to do with that code I wrote over there”, then being able to pass closures around as data really is code-as-data.
