Functional Programming Jargon is an educational glossary that explains common functional programming terms in simpler language. It was created to make functional programming easier to approach by reducing the confusion caused by unfamiliar terminology. The project uses JavaScript ES2015 examples to make abstract ideas more concrete for web developers. It covers concepts from the functional programming world and, where appropriate, references terms used in the Fantasy Land specification. The repository also includes translations, which makes the resource more accessible to learners in different languages. It is useful for developers who want to understand terms like functor, monad, currying, composition, purity, and related ideas without starting from dense academic material.
