Functional Programming
Thoughts on Railway Oriented Programming - JavaScript
As I've said before, functions are my favorite building blocks. We can treat them as blackbox abstractions. We don't have to care about what's inside, only about what it receives as argument and what returns as output. When a function is pure it will always return the same output if we always provide the same input.
