If he's already learning JS, why not stick with functional concepts there, in a language he is familiar with? Two resources I can recommend are: - http://reactivex.io/learnrx/ - https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide The second link in particular is quite an in-depth look at the more theoretical side of functional programming but in the first part it deals with fundamentals, and is not super complex to follow. I say this as someone who can grasp the basics like functional composition, currying, partial application etc. but not stuff like monads, functors, etc. so take my advice for what it's worth :) Good luck!

As the title states, what would be the best way to get started with Clojure (and friends)? About the ecosystem. - do I need to learn Emacs, or would something like LightTable suffice? - Would it be a good move to dig into FP in a language I know, before starting with Clojure? (for example: https://github.com/DrBoolean/mostly-adequate-guide) Clojure: books? Any recommendations? - The Joy of Clojure (2nd Edition), Manning (http://www.manning.com/books/the-joy-of-clojure- second-edition) - Clojure for the Brave and True (http://www.braveclojure.com/) Any others that are considered good? I guess the best way to get started with a new language is to actually build a project in it.. but that requires at least a small amount of knowledge of the language. The reason I would like to get into Clojure is simple: expand my horizons, learn somethin

Love Javascript and want to learn FP? Checkout this book - https://github.com/DrBoolean/mostly-adequate-guide. I stumbled upon it last week and I've found it to be quite approachable (although I haven't yet read the section on Monads).
