My new year's resolution is to "get functional". I have already started with Haskell[1] and now, I want to start using FP in some toy project.

I find RamdaJS to be a perfect fit. But I can't seem to find a good, i.e. in-depth, guide on the topic.

Anyone knows a good place to start?

I'd highly recommend https://drboolean.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide as it helps frame a lot of FP things within JS land.

For books, take a look here - https://github.com/stoeffel/awesome-fp-js#books .
Personally I would start with Functional-Light JavaScript 
If you scroll a little bit in the github list you will find this http://fr.umio.us/why-ramda/ article.
