Elephants roaming freely between Kenya and Tanzania have been protected for decades, but Tanzania might allow hunters to kill them for sport! MFA Tanzania 500k+ people say #SaveSuperTuskers. Do the right thing, protect these beautiful creatures!

Other devs look at me strange when I tell them I code JavaScript. If you stick to purely functional JS, const's & use a good functional library like Ramda (ramdajs.com), you'll be surprised that it's very similar to working in functional langs like Clojure
