But for those who haven't read it, it was money incredibly well spent. I have a much greater understanding of JavaScript's batshit crazy semantics and FP techniques. It will make you a better programmer, regardless of whether you use JS regularly or not. But if you do, I think this book is as close to capturing the true soul of Javascript as anything I've read. The examples are very well thought out, and the writing style is a joy to read. And if you like it as much as I did, I hope you'll kick a few bucks the author's way.

Well done Mr. Braithwaite!
