Transducers FTW!
summary
Argues transducers are small, composable transformations that avoid creating intermediate collections and run as a single reduce step; demonstrates Ramda and Underarm implementations that parse Apache log lines into "IP visited URL" and compose filters/maps into one pipeline. Shows the same transducer reused with Rx-style observables, Node string streams and different libraries — it interops and does not build intermediate aggregates so it scales to streaming files and supports promise-aware async composition.
