Functional programming in Python sucks for a few reasons:

- Lack of pipe operator

- Multiple arguments everywhere instead of currying

- No do-notation or equivalent

- Reference equality rather than structural equality for objects etc.

If you want to program in this style, consider using F#, R or even JavaScript with a few Babel plugins.



Which Babel plugins you would recommend?


Babel pipeline is a good one: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-plugin-proposal-pipeline-op...

Combine it with Lodash FP: https://github.com/lodash/lodash/wiki/FP-Guide


Thanks a lot!!
