Agree so much with this comment. Downside is that after using a proper functional language (clojure[script]) you end up wanting some really basic things such as immutable core data structures. I feel like if you start from scratch on a javascript project, it's possible to program in a functional manner. I've found it really tough to introduce functional concepts to an already full stack javascript codebase. BTW: I'd recommend ramda [1] for those interested in functional javascript programming. The auto-currying makes it way more powerful than underscore/lodash in terms of encouraging pure reusable functions. [1]: https://github.com/ramda/ramda https://github.com/ramda/ramda
