How to deal with dirty side effects in your pure functional JavaScript
If you start learning about functional programming, it won’t be long before you come across the idea of pure functions. And as you go on, you will discover functional programmers appear to be obsessed with them. “Pure functions let you reason about your code,” they say. “Pure functions are less likely to start a…
