Ramda is 10x more accessible to newbie programmers than fp-ts. fp-ts is something that's theoretically superior and far more thought-out from an FP-perspective. But I wouldn't dare throw that on the lap of a junior programmer. They'd avoid using it anyway. Not sure why everyone is hating on Ramda, it's extremely easy to switch from Lodash to it and using a data-driven functional approach is very natural in JS/TS. You don't need to use currying at all when using Ramda, that's optional. There's also absolutely no requirement to go full FP to use it, nor does it need to underpin every function. Utility libraries are exactly that, they are basic helper functions when you don't want to write it yourself. Nor should you have to use ChatGPT every time you need array unions and safe hash merging or slightly more complex map functions or the 10's of other basic stdlib type functions that JS doesn't have.
