#idea Implement a small educational console/repl library on top of this.

It would be nice if there was an online REPL that would allow a user to type in functional commands, and slowly and visually build a result.

is this close to what you have in mind: http://ramdajs.com/repl/
?

That is sort of a cross between a pastebin and a REPL.

I was imagining something closer to the REPL on the Haskell website.

Perhaps what would be nice would be a code editor on the left of the screen, and then on the right side of the screen a colourful visualisation of the execution of that code. A kind of live-coding experience that makes data flows very observable.

Unrelated to this project but I am kind of irritated by JavaScript because it doesn't stop me from sending randomly typed data into a function. I have seen projects like ramda-typescript and am now wondering what is stopping this kind of information from being generated from the docs? I've also seen projects like Flow and I've no idea how well that plays with Ramda. It's a shame that types can't be relied upon more in JavaScript.

Sounds great!

no kidding. it is a little too accommodating. the question is, what do you do with garbage input? Seems to me you have two choices: enforce typing with arg-checking, or let it fail. I tend to favor the latter.
