Functional Programming and Curry Cooking in JS

Explore functional programming concepts in JavaScript through a unique culinary lens in this JSConf EU 2015 talk. Delve into powerful abstractions that help master complex problems and create more elegant programs, using cooking as an analogy to make dry concepts more digestible. Learn about higher order functions, continuation passing style, and monads while discovering how JavaScript allows for a gradual transition into functional programming. Gain insights on overcoming limitations of abstraction and navigating callback forests, all while drawing parallels to preparing delicious curry dishes inspired by Haskell Curry, the inventor of functional programming. Whether you're a seasoned developer or new to functional programming, this 27-minute presentation offers a flavorful approach to enhancing your JavaScript skills.
