Tacit Programming
JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/
It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.
But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

Pipeline-Oriented Programming [video]
This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

Level up your Typescript game, functionally - Part 2
To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

FP and JavaScript/TypeScript
I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

When to use currying in JavaScript
I'm going to be honest. You probably don't need to use currying in JavaScript. In fact, trying to fit it in your code is going to do more harm than good, unless it's just for fun. Currying only becomes useful when you fully embrace functional programming, which, in JavaScript, means using a library like Ramda instead of the standard built-in functions.

No Lodash
Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Snap.js - A competitor to Lodash
Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)
What are some alternatives?
lodash - A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance, & extras.
Sugar - A Javascript library for working with native objects.
Rambda - Faster and smaller alternative to Ramda
FxTS - A functional programming library for TypeScript/JavaScript
RxJS
preludejs - functional/point-free utils for JavaScript
immutable-js - Immutable persistent data collections for Javascript which increase efficiency and simplicity.
underscore - JavaScript's utility _ belt
fp-ts - Functional programming in TypeScript
mimic-fn - Make a function mimic another one
lazy.js - Like Underscore, but lazier
