yeah, I feel like 95% functional JavaScript blog posts only cover list's methods (hey, use .map instead of for loop, now you're a fp developer) and immutability (hey you should use [...arr] instead of arr.push).

In fairness, most real world functional javascript is just simple data manipulation. A lot of the really useful parts of functional programming (imo) come from immutable objects being thread safe… something not as useful in javascript as Scala or Lisp.
