If we are just writing applications for functional programming, do we need to know more about advanced mathematical knowledge-type theory, lambda calculus, and polymorphism? Do we need to reinvent the wheel? In short, the answer to both of these questions is: No.

In this chapter, we will do our best to investigate all the ways that will affect the use of JavaScript to write functional programs, including:

• Library
• Tool Set
• Development environment
• A functional language compiled into JavaScript
• More

You have to understand that the JavaScript library is not stable in the present case. Like all aspects of computer programming, the community seems to change as the heartbeat beats. New libraries are often adopted, and old ones are discarded. For example, to this writing, the popular stable node. JS platform for handling I/O has been maintained by the open source community, and its future is uncertain.

However, the most important concept that this chapter will learn is not how to use the existing functional programming libraries, but how to use all the libraries that can enhance JavaScript functional programming. This chapter is not limited to one or two libraries and we will explore as many libraries as possible in order to examine the style of all JavaScript functional programming in memory.
