Daniel Brain makes the case for “functional-ish” JavaScript… code that utilizes functional programming concepts without going all-in on functional.

But functional programming does not need to be all-or-nothing, and in my view it’s better to be a little more pragmatic. That is to say, if you don’t do anything else, try writing code that’s functional-ish.

This definitely matches my personal approach. Fully functional still kinda blows my brain, but layering in functional approaches has dramatically improved my code. What about you? Would love to hear some functional or functional-ish “war stories”.
