Great talk. I get confused a little bit when approaching to functional programming but Kuba introduce the argument very well. I was wondering for the next talk if it's possible to talk about integration of OOP and Functional programming in Javascript, it will be very helpful, at least for me.
Thanks for the slides and the sample code, it's very useful.
I did not like Kuba's approach: it was mostly telling you what to do instead of why.
Most of the presentation tried to rewrite a simple loop with 4-5 functions, in my humble opinion there are more interesting aspects of using Javascript as a functional language that are NOT sum of numbers.
It would be much more interesting to have less code but many examples of when functional programming saves your life instead of imperative programming (code re-use and real word implications)
TLDR: I'm an enthusiast of functional programming but I was almost asleep during tthe talk

Good speech, with a rich set of aspects and ideas well covered and managed by Kuba.
He's adopting a good approach by focusing his talk on demos instead of slides.
He seems a little bit scared of the audience, but his humble approach makes him however an interesting speaker.
Good luck for your career, thumb up!
