    Becoming Functional - Several Questions
About this book
Functional programming is a paradigm for developing software with better performance. It helps you write concise and testable code. To help you take your programming skills to the next level, this comprehensive book will assist you in harnessing the capabilities of functional programming with JavaScript and writing highly maintainable and testable web and server apps using functional JavaScript. This second edition is updated and improved to cover features such as transducers, lenses, prisms and various other concepts to help you write efficient programs. By focusing on functional programming, you’ll not only start to write but also to test pure functions, and reduce side effects. The book also specifically allows you to discover techniques for simplifying code and applying recursion for loopless coding. Gradually, you’ll understand how to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types for your application, before going on to learn functional reactive programming to handle complex events in your app. Finally, the book will take you through the design patterns that are relevant to functional programming. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed your JavaScript skills and have gained knowledge of the essential functional programming techniques to program effectively.

Technical Requirements

To develop and test the code in this book, I used several versions of commonly available software, including browsers and Node.js, as well as some other packages.

For this second edition, my main machine runs the Tumbleweed rolling release of OpenSUSE Linux, from https://www.opensuse.org/#Tumbleweed, currently including kernel 5.3.5. (The rolling term implies that the software is updated on a continuous basis, to keep getting the latest versions of all packages.) I've also tested portions of the code of this book on different Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. 

As to browsers, I usually work with Chrome, from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/, and at the current time, I'm up to version 78. I also use Firefox, from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/, and I got version 72 in my machine. I have also run code using the online JSFiddle...
