combine seems kind of ill-written given that Array#concat has always accepted multiple arrays. What about:

combine = (...a) => [].concat(...a)

@webbedspace: You're absolutely right, just updated the code. Thanks!

@nfroidure That’s the identity function. noop implies a function that doesn’t do anything (not even returning a value), e.g. const noop = () => {};.

@mathiasbynens right! thanks for the correction

Why is head:

const head = arr
  => arr[0]

and last not:

const last = arr => arr[arr.length - 1]

FYI: assign should eventually be shimmed via Object.getOwnPropertySymbols which might be there, but not necessarily in browsers that support assign too.

Most of these have horrible asymptotic performance.

compact could be shortened to:

const identity = x => x

const compact = arr => arr.filter(identity)

Or even

const compact = arr => arr.filter(Boolean)
