fp-ts is a functional programming library for TypeScript that provides a set of tools and utilities for working with immutable data structures, functional programming patterns, and type-safe operations. It enables developers to write more robust and predictable code by leveraging concepts from functional programming paradigms such as algebraic data types, type classes, and monads.
Compared to other functional programming libraries like Ramda or Lodash, fp-ts is specifically designed for TypeScript, offering strong type inference and compatibility with the language's type system. It promotes a more declarative and composable coding style, making it easier to reason about complex logic and handle side effects in a pure and functional manner.
