"add" and its results must return function. Otherwise such results couldnt be called, so no chaining wouldn't work.
The kata's description doesnt show important nuance - the result must play as function in context of comparison or arithmetic operations, e.g.

add(1)(2) == 3

NodeJS command line interface output result of last operation as is - without any conversion, so you see function. It's because only a primitive value can evaluate to primitive without conversions (explicit or implicit). And browser console typically performs conversion to a string when it prints result of last command.

Yes, it appears node handles the toString and valueOf differnelty than browsers normally do.

I tried to run this on Nodejs and it returns [Function] toString : [Function]. I think it only works on browser.
