summary

Argues that small, concrete functional techniques make existing imperative code safer and easier to change, demonstrating pure functions, function composition, and immutability applied to event-handling and data transformation. Live-codes refactors in JavaScript/Node: extracts three small pure helpers, isolates one adapter for I/O, and composes them to replace tangled callbacks. The refactor runs onstage and reduces branching and local state while keeping the original API and behavior.
