Functional JS is fantastic; personally, it’s the main reason I am where I am as a developer (Elixir programmer, & working with other functional languages on and off in my job). It’s quite old now, uses Underscore, but everything in it should still be applicable. As an introduction to FP for a JS developer, it was excellent. I think it would also be useful to a functional programmer who has managed to avoid JS, and I normally recommend it to people just learning JS who have gone past the basics. I found it very readable and extremely practical, very well paced. Michael Fogus is a good writer; I keep meaning to read his “Joy of Clojure” book but haven’t got round to it - his other writings are excellent
