While I'm not upset that this has been posted here and has been garnering some attention, this talk wasn't designed for this kind of consumption. I have given this talk to two kinds of audiences:

* In a large corporate office with heterogeneous skill-sets among developers, but where almost all had some experience with Javascript.

* Javascript Users Groups

In each case, the idea was to make the case that FP could offer them practical advantages. The goal was definitely not to teach them FP or to suggest the best FP tool.

There are definitely better languages in which to do FP. But if for whatever reasons you're working in Javascript, I would suggest that a functional style could be useful.

For that audience I agree with dipping toes. I just want to place hedges and guards against making "FP" (whatever that means) out to being better syntax for some kinds of streaming operations when it has much, much more to offer.
