Learn from Haskell - Functional, Reusable JavaScript: "For the last couple months I have been learning Haskell. Because there are so many unfamiliar concepts, it feels like learning to program all over again. At i.TV, we write a lot of JavaScript (node.js and front end). While many functional/haskell paradigms don’t translate, there are a few techniques that JS can benefit from.
There are Haskell library functions for everything. At first I thought this was just because it was mature, but then I noticed that these functions could be applied to a wider variety of problems than in other languages. This makes them more useful, as you are less likely to have to write your own solution to a common problem."
