> this is kind of already how many are programming in modern FP languages like Clojure (via libraries).

Would you have links about this programming style and some of these libraries?



No links. However as clojure dev, typically you build your programs as this one big folding operation. You can stray away from this to a degree (much more than in say Haskell) but in the end most programs are just one call to reduce function with data.

This is something that becomes very obvious when you become more familiar with fp. Yet it was the most surprising/eye opening thing when you are not.
