A glossary that explains functional programming jargon in simple terms, with examples written in JavaScript (ES2015). It is an educational reference document rather than software.

Use cases

  • learn what a monad is in plain language
  • look up the meaning of currying and partial application
  • understand functional programming terms like functor and monoid
  • find simple JavaScript examples of FP concepts
  • prepare for interviews involving functional programming vocabulary

When to choose

  • you are learning functional programming and need a quick reference for terminology
  • you want concise explanations with JavaScript examples
  • you need a free, community-translated glossary

When to avoid

  • you need a runnable library or tool rather than documentation
  • you want deep formal treatment of category theory
  • you need language-specific FP tutorials beyond JavaScript examples
