    JavaScript Style Guide

  • You can check out the AirBnB Style Guide, which is probably the most used at the moment. Even better, you can run it automatically with eslint. I’d also probably be remiss if I didn’t mention prettier. Prettier is an auto-formatter. The whole idea is for you to forget style, but it is wildly popular.

    Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript)

  • On the book front, there are two that I am fond of which have a focus on JavaScript and FP, Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adaquate Guide, and Functional Light JavaScript. They are nice practical books that help you lean into JS’s strength as an FP language while writing real code.
