Functional JavaScript, Part 3: apply, call, and the arguments object

I&#x27;m relatively new to JS and functional programming and I&#x27;ve found that functional programming has been extremely difficult for me to grasp. I eventually figure it out (so far) but it takes me <i>forever</i> to read through code. You return a function that has a function in that that has another function in that and so on.<p>Is this normal?

I&#x27;ve been on a functional JS binge recently and have found <a href="https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;leanpub.com&#x2F;javascript-allonge</a> extremely helpful in explaining functional concepts and reexplaining basic javascript concepts. I can&#x27;t recommend the book enough.

author of the article here: this is part 3 of what will likely be a 6+ part series... as a result, this post is still sort of &quot;laying the foundation&quot;, before getting to some of the &quot;fun stuff&quot;.<p>In any event, would love to hear any feedback!

Wow, what an amazingly detailed article. Really enjoying this series so far.
