Thanks, I just watched the talk on "learning functional programming in javascript", which I enjoyed. 750k views which is surprisingly high for a javascript talk. Is it the speaker? She's charming and all... but 750k views? I wonder if that's because masses of developers are not happy with object oriented approaches in JS (count me in that crowd) and looking for a better way.
