For all the gripes surrounding the lack of TCO on the JVM, Clojure really does provide a great set of tools to deal with iteration in a functional way. It's a rare thing when I need to fall back to using loop & recur.

Haha, that's a pretty clear case for them not being distracting!

Author here, would be interested to hear people's take on the addition of illustrations (illustration is being generous, I know). Do you find them distracting or do they help break up the text?

You'll be able to achieve that behaviour when node also supports destructuring. import { readFile, writeFile } from 'fs'; import { clone } from 'lodash';

Probably for the same reasons you can't write var function diameter() {} It's definitely a shame that the only way to achieve consistent behaviour between variables and named functions requires you to write the name twice

Totally agree, it is much more important to be able to reason about mutability. I would disagree that it's super-easy to reason about var, despite being lexically scoped. It still causes an enormous amount of confusion when loops and c

I think that completely depends on the flavour of code you write. If you mostly use imperative styles, then the large proportion of your declarations will be `var` and `let`. It definitely makes refactoring harder in the direction you menti

Why not use `const` as default? I would argue that using `let` instead is a premature optimization of readability. It's easier to reason about a variable if you know it will always be one value—even if the value may be mutated (which i

You can use the Chrome dev tools to run an audit. One of the performance metrics it tracks is the number of unused CSS rules.

Sure, the underlying storage mechanisms are different and it doesn't support as many types, but I didn't say it was a good polyfill.

by codecurve 11y ago
That's good to hear, I wasn't aware of Typed Objects. I guess the library linked at the end of the post is basically a very non-specific polyfill already? Well, using it like that is one way to get around bitwise littering.

Author here. There were a lot of ends that I tried to tie up that started to be difficult to find hard evidence for. Some of the string/object storage stuff is discussed casually in mailing lists, but there aren't great places I c

(function double() { return this * 2; }).call(2) === 4 I didn't have to box anything to pass a primitive as this. Maybe some other versions are different, but this works in Chrome 40 and Firefox 33.
