An enormous amount of the shavings and inlining that the Closure compiler is capable of assumes that you write your code according to rules that reduce ambiguity and dynamic features in your code. Variable names get mangled, so things lik

Often recommended, but Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird and Stephen King's On Writing are both autobiographies wrapped in textbook sheepskin. Writing advice that may seem obvious or trite is then backed up with beautiful vignettes. Good

I've found http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ to be the best resource to drill the "code as data" mindset necessary for Lisp programming. And I would recommend going through as many e

https://github.com/aarongustafson/jekyll-crosspost-to-medium is a fair option if you have a Jekyll blog. Many static site generators include an idea of "publishing targets", and often include an easy way of m

Dead code removal relies heavily on writing JS in a style that allows for static analysis. Dynamic requires, heavy usage of closures, knowledge of external/global variables are all things that prevent a lot of commonjs code from being

Are there any alternatives to TodoMVC out in the wild? I rather like https://github.com/staltz/flux-challenge myself, but I wonder if there are any other projects that are focused on more complex examples.

That's why the distinction is so lovely. Same identity, different value. State is a snapshot of an identity at some point in time.

And unopinionated. It takes a tremendous amount of listening, polishing, and gardening to arrive at what github has built.

For B, https://pragprog.com/book/vmclojeco/clojure-applied is very nice if you are coming from a traditional Java or OO background, and if you are familiar with design patterns but are wondering how to structure y

om.next lifts some great ideas out of Relay and Falcor. All three libraries share the assumption that components should describe the data they want, in the shape that they want it in. A querying layer is then responsible for for maintaining

Not to mention idempotent code is trivially memoized, allowing you to skip computations you couldn't previously reason about. A function that produces a value is always comparable to another value — a function that modifies some stat

That's a bit unfair — you're talking about an expository and introductory Medium post. Compare that to the first sentence of the guide itself: Open source UI components and visual style guide to create consistency and beauti

The thing that always stops me from making something similar to this (other than willpower and interest) is: how do you enforce constraints on the data? How do you keep it from accumulating junk data if you're cutting out the role of a

I'm not sure I'd agree that those are examples of people fighting React though — using it on the client and server allows you to never duplicate markup you might have in a component with markup in a template, for example. The case

There's a benefit to teasing apart two ideas here: - writing functions that expect immutable data (you get referential transparency and value equality → a system that's easier to reason about) - using persistent data structures (m

It's a very cool feature of Datomic that the storage engine is pluggable, and easily changed depending on the characteristics of your data. Using Postgres is trivial: http://docs.datomic.com/storage.html#sql-database

Inconsolata-dz is a great font, though I recommend https://github.com/DeLaGuardo/Inconsolata-LGC for fans of Inconsolata that would like bold and italic weights, as well as extended glyphs.

Reagent presents a very simple api at the expense of a lot of complex/magical bookkeeping to link components and their update cycles to a framework-specific application atom. If you're really looking to demystify how clojurescript

Nikita Prokopov has presented a pretty cohesive vision for front-end programming in the cljs community. Even if you don't agree with all of his opinions, he's one of the only people assembling a big picture about how to write apps

Great question! Actions should be thought of as a mapping between some mechanical UI event (typing in a form, clicking on a button) and an event with some meaning in your application ("user typed a hacker news comment", "user
