What I really miss when doing "functional JS" is pattern matching. Is there any good solution for that?

  Have you seen matches.js? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4516576 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4516576

  You might try this one: http://www.bramstein.com/projects/funcy/ http://www.bramstein.com/projects/funcy/ It implements pattern matching in JS, with objects and closures. Not as convenient as first class support, but might be worth it.

    That link is overloaded. Try this one: https://github.com/bramstein/funcy https://github.com/bramstein/funcy

  I also really miss pattern matching and I think that JavaScript would be well-served by it or even minimally some sort of destructuring.
