I think the reason for JS devs having "a weird relationship with 'FP'" is, that JS itself, in its nature, is not a particularly well suited language for FP. It has essential elements, that by their nature are global mutable state. For example timers and their ids. Also weak typing plays into this. Some operations not immediately raising an error when the wrong type of thing is provided, is a recipe for bad experience when having point free style or semi point free style. If given the choice, at least one thing would be good to have, strong typing or static typing.
