Functional Programming in JavaScript

" summary

Shows how to replace mutable state with immutable data structures and a single mutable reference (an atom) for identity, using Immutable.js and an atom to make state comparable and observable. Uses promises and async/await for asynchrony and js-csp (channels and cooperative processes) for coordination, assembles a Flux-like architecture without stores where actions go to channels and effects are started/stopped, and demonstrates React’s fast diffs and that the approach is testable and reasonably efficient.
