(article author here) I very much agree with this point of view. The most important concern is a developer who thinks and writes clearly, irrespective of style or programming paradigm.

The "bad bet" I was referring to was that you can make JS impersonate Java. That strikes me as a losing proposition. Sugaring up prototype inheritance to look like class-based inheritance just muddies the water.

... also, `propEq` is already in the lib.

(ramda co-author here) I agree the api has gotten a bit, let's say "broad". we're working on modularizing the lib now, and we plan to provide different builds as well as a facility to roll your own.

yes: `R.installTo(global)` will pull all of the ramda functions on the `global` object
