I don't understand. It looks a little like Ruby and Elixir mixed together, maybe without some colons that would otherwise be there. There's nothing crazy going on in the examples in the way of single letter variables or anything else I'd consider reductive. It's not really all that novel, and more of a pleasing combination of existing ideas. So why pin this on "functional advocates", whatever "this" even is? Maybe you could expound on your ideas a bit to help me understand your reasoning. Perhaps your comment is just incomplete rather than being wrong. (also, hopefully your qualms go further in depth than the syntax, because literally-skin-deep comparisons are a little boring)
