I liked this post, and find the use of map/filter/reduce one of the most fundamental changes to the way you can manipulate data. Truly eye opening. Even though I have relatively little front-end experience, and use primarily python/ruby- I only started to use these with Javascript (via the underscore library). The only thing I didn't quite agree with is " ... the syntax is obvious enough for most people to understand even if they don't quite grok Haskell". Whilst the early examples were manageable, I was struggling with the syntax later on. The syntax looks clean, so it seems like Haskell is a neat language, but it wasn't enough to make it easy for me to fully 'get it'. Perhaps I'm too locked in a ruby/python mindset.
