The concept of "inlining" a function is Programming 101. The mechanism of how to achieve it is what is specific to a language/runtime. You check the syntax/semantics/documentation and figure it out aka problem-solving. Not a big deal and no need to make unwarranted claims/charges against the language as a whole.
