I feel like I am going full dumb dumb here, but: how is this actually bad?

I read: "US government prevents Chines company from owning yet another piece of our ass" excuse the french

Not trying to troll, really interested in what the downsides are.

Javascript madness finally on the JVM!

I read it to get introduced to the functional programming mindset which I am interested to use in my everyday developing and possibly completely switch to in the near future.

While I think I understood the key concepts, the book did not get me to the point where I am able to think about bigger problems in a functional way.

Thank you very much for your answer. I am able to make small scripts work, but I really have no idea how to build bigger projects. Unfortunately coming from a Java background I am not sure how to handle most problems in a functional manner.

I will check out the websites you suggested.Thanks again.
