summary

Argues that combining declarative programming with treating functions and data as first-class values produces smaller, more testable, and easier-to-reason-about code. Presents concrete JavaScript patterns—replace loops with recursion/composition, use reduce to fold actions into state, and isolate side effects—and demonstrates a tiny GitHub library implementing minimal monads/observables (mayBe/Promise/Observable) to manage async flows alongside React/Redux-style state; the prototype is functionally sound but not fully polished.
