As a Lisp hacker and current learner of Haskell, this makes my spleen rupture.

It's just functional programming 101, seriously.

That's all it is.



Just to let you know, while you're 100% right, I downvoted you for unnecessary snark.


Ack, didn't mean to offend you either. I like Lisp too (I'm learning Racket). I was just trying to explain how underscore.js makes me feel.


Maybe your approach is better for the advocacy of functional programming anyway, makes it less intimidating.
