Basic point free style as described in the article is alright in javascript.

Extreme point free style does not work in javascript, AT ALL!!!! Two reasons:

1) Find the bug: the table sort is glitchy. Is the bug in this suspicious line, or somewhere else? (Real line of code in a codebase I inherited, and yes there is a bug in it)

    var sorted = rows.sort(_.unsplat(_.pipeline(
        _.partial(_.map, _,  accessor), 
        _.splat(comparator))));

2) I use React, so I can get away with a lot of really functional stuff since React is well suited for functional javascript. React is a great functional abstraction, but under the abstraction is imperative code. Imperative code means you need a debugger. When you write in a point free style, there's nowhere to place a breakpoint!
