Transducers: Efficient Data Processing Pipelines in JavaScript

Note: This is part of the “Composing Software” series on learning functional programming and compositional software techniques in JavaScript ES6 from the ground up. Stay tuned. There’s a lot more of this to come!< Previous | << Start over at Part 1Prior to taking on transducers, you should first have a strong understanding of both function composition and reducers.Transduce: Derived from the 17th century scientific latin, “transductionem” means “to change over, convert”. It is further derived from “transducere/traducere”, which means “to lead along or across, transfer”.A transducer is a composable higher-order reducer. It takes a reducer as input, and returns another reducer.
