I like to think they refer to a "functional style". At the end of the day that's all we can hope for in javascript. We can't even enforce a function to be pure, we can only have them by convention. Sometimes I think is sad that function composition doesn't get as much atention as the array trinity (map, filter, reduce).
I wouldn't even say "functional style", rather it's about picking some of specific functional tools that fit the intended domain of ES and ignoring those that don't really add enough value and/or are just not doable in ES.
Function composition, currying, referential transparency... there's lots of concepts that get ignored because they stray too far from how people want to write javascript for the most part.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
