So even if js is capable of being written with the structure of a functional language, doing so renders it incomprehensible to other js programmers?

Eh, most languages are capable of being written functionally, but bringing a completely different language's idioms in results in unmaintainable code.

At the very least they needed to hire a Haskell dev, not a JS dev, even if the language itself was JS.
