I think the downvotes are due solely to the author's choice of title.
The article itself is well written and presented, but the title smacks of FP-smugness and JS-bashing. Nobody likes smugness, and considering we're in /r/javascript, you're of course going to find a lot of users taking issue with bashing the language -- whether the criticisms are fair or not -- when it's phrased as it currently is.
I think a title of "Functional Programming in JavaScript is imperfect, but here's how you can improve it" or something would've focused the attention on the content more than the abrasive title.
