As you can see even in the blog post: straightforward readable code using built-in functionality is turned into 8-12 imports, a bunch of auxillary functions and multiple function calls that obscure the actual functionality. At 35 times speed penalty and 2 times memory penalty.

JS simply does not lend itself to currying, data-last signatures, piping, and pattern matching like an ML family language does. And as you can tell by the Ramda typings, neither does the TS type system. [0]

You will forever fight an uphill battle against every single tutorial and piece of documentation and colleague when going down this path. I don't think the effort is worth it.

No idea what your comment about jack shit is about. Haskell is often just as bad as Ramda.

Edit. By the way. All the unusable and unreadable jargon that Haskell uses can be much more easily explained with Javascript: https://github.com/hemanth/functional-programming-jargon Make of it what you will
