After having done Scala for a few years, it's finally a pleasure to be able to read and understand a thread like this.

FP gains are real. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what FP is.

To anyone out there who isn't on the FP train yet, get on. You'll become a better programmer for it.

That's one of the thing I love about JS. Sure, you don't have all the good static typing that comes with Scala or OCaml, however map, filter, reduce and lambdas are easily accessible. We may get record, tuples, pattern matching and a pipeline operator at some point!
