Simplicity through Functions
summary
Shows concrete claims and tools: using ES2015 features and libraries — immutable from Facebook, Mori and Ramda — to make state immutable with structural sharing, enabling cheap change checks and a claimed 50× speedup in frameworks like React. Demonstrates tail-call‑optimizable Fibonacci, pure functions with map/filter/reduce, and decoupled asynchronous streams via CSP channels and transducers that reuse the same transformation for arrays or channels.
