Thank you so much for the reference to “mostly adequate guide to FP” book. It looks incredibly easy to read. As someone who is fluent in JS and dabbled in FP this is right down my alley, and the style of text itself is actually quite funny and conversational - I love that.
I’ve noticed that a _a lot of_ stuff written about FP tries to emulate this fun and easy going style - I wonder why that is. I still refer to clojure’s “re-frame” docs as the epitome of technical literature - a text so good you can read it in its own right just for the fun of it.
I don’t want to diminish other languages’ communities of course, as this is totally anecdotal. I’ve found awesome prose in other places as well (mostly ruby/python) but I just encounter those funny gems more often reading about FP.
