With the rise of functional programming in software development, curried functions have become common in many JavaScript applications and it’s important to understand what they are and how to use them the right way. Currying is… Read More »Currying and Function Composition in JavaScript
Javascript is the language of the web. It was born for the web and used for a long time to run small functions inside browsers. We used to create JS scripts to animate stuff, or validade forms but those days are over. Javascript evolved into a full language capable of loading data from servers and manipulating the DOM in such way that made possible for full frameworks to appear. Now we have a full ecosystem of JS. It runs on the server side, on the client side and even on Mobile devices and Apps for desktops.
In this article I want to give you a brief overview of the Javascript fundamentals so you can begin to understand how it works and what you can do with it. Hope you guys enjoy!
Even though Javascript is not a strictly typed language, it has types. We are gonna talk about the types later, first we need to clarify one thing.

Immutability is a super hot subject in modern JavaScript and the reason for that is, of course, because of the functional programming paradigm.
Immutable data is tightly connected with a functional approach where any mutation is considered as an unwanted side effect. But first, let’s dive into details of mutability and immutability.
