If you can’t understand the difference between pure (no side effects) and functional (applying and composing functions), I don’t know what to tell you.

Purely functional programming is a subset of functional programming (see F# for instance). I was referring to the pipe operator syntax common to many functional programming languages like Haskell, F#, OCaml, Elixir, Elm and so on...

Haha thanks! Yes haters gonna hate. If you like it, use it; if you don’t, simply don’t use it ;)

Is functional programming a joke? YMMV...

Thanks! I’m currently trying to find a better TS type but that’s a bit hairy...

The pipe function of `fp-ts` doesn’t have direct access to methods and properties of the pipe output like Verticalize. You have to wrap them into anonymous functions. Same with promises.

Author here. Thanks! Yes I have to confess I have both a Scheme and Elm background ;)

Author here. Thanks for your nice comment. I added a note to show the "normal" autoformatted syntax.

Author here. Thanks for your nice comment. I added a note to say it does work with autoformatters too. Actually someone in a comment below said he or she prefers the autoformatted syntax.
