I wonder if whatever is left of Netscape can sue Microsoft now over JScript...

And many of us have gained a great deal by having you publish on the side. Thanks, raganwald!

Ok, that helps make it a bit more palatable to me. Thanks for the information. One question, though: How do user functions interact in here? If you didn't include `flatten`, but I …

It's a funny world. Each of us is looking at the other library thinking there's too much magic involved. :-) Ramda is [considering a technique][1] that would significantly reduce c…

as inglor said, this depends on strict mode: > var isboxed = (function() {"use strict"; return function isboxed() {return this instanceof Number;}}()); > isboxed.call(5); false

That is ceratainly one of my standard examples. The best answer to this seems to be simply: var sum = ls => ls.reduce(add, 0) ISTM that this is neither as elegant nor as easy to re…

No, in fact the real problem has been that too many incompetent people were far too certain about how to use it.

The difference starts to show when you want to partially apply some values. // process1 :: (Item -> Bool) -> [Item] -> [OtherType] // process2 :: [Item] -> [OtherType] process1(isO…

That's not sad. Use the tools that work for you. It was finding that those tools were no longer supporting the way I wanted to work that got me started on Ramda. I'm guessing the s…

(Disclosure: one of the authors of Ramda here, so I may well be biased toward a very different approach.) This is an interesting approach, but I get caught right at the beginning, …

"governments and private companies" certainly do not preclude committees. Quite to the contrary, in fact.

Disclosure: self-submission

Yes, and those damned Italians still refuse to switch to English too!

Very well said. I work on the Ramda ( http://ramdajs.com/ ) FP JS library with the OP. Ramda is heavily invested in currying, and I don't yet have a clue how we'll deal with defaul…

I think the concern is simple, really. People are going to be told (rightly so) to use `let` instead of `var`. If they do so too mechanically, and their code is structured in certa…

I've just started learning Clojure, and I haven't spent any time yet on Clojurescript.

I've read and commented on many of these posts (the latest one far too frequently! :-) ). Excellent stuff.

Hasn't that meme died yet? Well, I for one won't help keep it alive by pointing to the recently discovered talk video found here:....

I apologize. I really posted it on my site only as a convenience for myself, not to be published. I never really considered anything but projection at the time. Although I can view…

While I'm not upset that this has been posted here and has been garnering some attention, this talk wasn't designed for this kind of consumption. I have given this talk to two kind…

That, I think, is working with the grain in Javascript. It's extremely difficult to do static checking in the language in any case, because in the language `foo.bar` is just syntac…

The idea was just to show that, contrary to many people's expectations, OOP is not the only widely used paradigm in business programming.

No video was recorded on the occasions I gave the talk. I'd apologize, but actually, you should probably thank me. :-)
