+ * Memoize
+ *
+ * From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization),
+ * memoization is an optimization technique
+ * used primarily to speed up computer programs,
+ * by storing the results of expensive function calls
+ * and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again
+ *
+ * This function is a first class objects,
+ * which lets us use it as [Higher-Order Function](https://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html)
+ * and return another function
+ *
+ * @param {Function} func Original function
+ * @returns {Function} Memoized function
