<p>This is a curated list of awesome <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming">functional
programming</a> code and learning resources for JavaScript. As a
multi-paradigm programming language, JavaScript can be written in many
styles. With these resources we want to help you to make better use of
JavaScript’s support for writing programs in a <em>functional</em>
way.</p>
<p>Functional programming is a <a
href="https://wiki.haskell.org/Functional_programming">style of
programming</a> which models computations as the evaluation of
expressions. Contrast this with imperative programming where programs
are composed of statements which change global state when executed.
Functional programming typically avoids using mutable state and favors
<em>side-effect free</em> functions and <em>immutable</em> data instead.
This encourages writing composable and declarative programs that are
easy to reason about.</p>

should only be included when they are likely to help someone filter

probably useful for Typescript users screening for types, but
