The document discusses the concept of function chaining in functional programming, primarily using the lodash library, emphasizing its advantages for readability and efficiency in operations on collections. It includes several practical examples demonstrating how to apply chaining methods like `compact`, `reject`, and `filter` to manipulate data structures, particularly in the context of handling items with specific attributes. Additionally, the document explains the differences between chaining and composition, as well as various lodash methods such as `_.partial` and `_.tap` that enhance functional programming practices.
