Functional Programming Patterns With RamdaJS!

Description

We all know how strong the functional programming (FP) hype train has been in recent years, particularly in the JavaScript community. We have extolled FP in countless books, videos, and blog posts, and we show no signs of stopping.

However, before we get into them, we'll lay the groundwork with concepts like pure functions, currying, and point-free style. You're already doing FP with map, filter, reduce, and Lodash, so why not explore a little further and see if you like it down here?
