## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation
- domain: education, programming-languages, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: glossary, functional-programming, awesome-list, jargon, javascript-examples
