I left "compose" out of this excerpt, but in the book: var pluck = compose(splat, get);

  Compose is another piece I wish more languages had. The functional style of small, orthogonal functions has changed the way I write code, but in many imperative languages, function composition as I know it just doesn't exist. And sometimes that disparity is a real bummer. You can get close in dynamic languages, as with JS, Ruby, and Python. But if we're talking about Java or C++, it's just not happening, not without a bunch of work and not within an existing codebase where the introduction of new styles might actually be counterproductive.
