The "Mostly Adequate Guide" is a tremendous intro to functional programming for any frontend/JS developer. I challenge anyone who knows a bit of JS and is not convinced of functional programming's advantages to read the guide.

My only regret after becoming comfortable with functional programming in JS (and eventually, even more robust techniques in Haskell, OCaml, and Scala) is not pushing harder for a functional approach in work projects that could have really benefited from the functional paradigm.
