Found this new (to me) FP library called Sanctuary.

Total Functions

It has total functions; unlike Ramda/Lodash it validates types at runtime; no need to check for the correct data type before using functions.

Information Preservation

It makes intelligent decisions around results being ADT’s. You get back a Maybe for things in Lodash that would report a String or undefined. A lot more clear and something you’d end up probably wrapping yourself anyway.

Currying: Only 1 Arg Per Function

Strong opinions that currying should be 1 argument per function. I’m on the fence about this, mainly because currying is a huge leap for some JavaScript programmers & having “the old way” to call functions normally like add(1, 2, 3) vs add(1)(2)(3) helps them out a lot to learn.

No this

Disallows this. It’s the worst thing in JavaScript & more divisive than politics.

Throws For Wrong Type

This kind of makes me rage is what they call invariants. Meaning, if you pass in the wrong type, it throws. Now, during unit testing + manual testing at runtime, this can help suss out bugs even if you’re using typings via Flow/TypeScript, etc. However, throwing Errors is a side effect, and it blows my mind a group smart enough to create Sanctuary would do this. Good news, tho, you can turn it off, heh!
