Yes, here is an example of a function in Javascript that returns the current date in the desired format:
```
const currentDate = () => {
  const now = new Date();
  const month = now.toLocaleString('default', {month: 'long'});
  const day = now.getDate();
  const year = now.getFullYear();
  return `${month} ${day}, ${year}`;
};
```

Yes, here's a function in Python that returns the current date in the desired format:

from datetime import datetime

def get_current_date():
    current_date = datetime.now()
    return current_date.strftime("%B %d, %Y")

print(get_current_date())

This function uses the datetime module to retrieve the current date and time, and the strftime method to format it as a string. The %B format codes specifies the full month name, %d specifies the day
