i'm on the fence about this... i don't love type coercions, but (!!x) is nice because you don't have to stop and check - was it (x ? 1 : 0) or (x ? 0 : 1), (x !=0) or (x==0)? i think arthur whitney said something in the vein

not related to the article itself, but Church (or Scott) encoding is, to me, one of the most eye-opening FP concepts – in order to describe a data type, you just write the way it can be pattern-matched on. and that's essentially descri

yeah, that's what i meant by "linear" (as in linear types, similar to rust's ownership stuff, just terminology i'm more familiar with)

i'm sure it means many things to many people :) obv i only speak myself here ignoring framework stuff (bc everyone seems to agree there) i'd say if your js qualifies as "vanilla" if it can run in a relatively recent br

by uryga 7y ago
true, it doesn't. but imo when people say "vanilla js" they mean both no framework to abstract DOM manipulation and no build steps, whether they be transpiling from ES7 or bundling stuff. perhaps webpack can be used to ju

i use that style too sometimes, depends on what's clearer. IME the former usually works better if you have a multiple tests, but the latter is the only readable option if you need to break a case across lines. yeah, ternary-if is buste

yeah, so is git. would it make sense to say "So I guess using Git isn’t vanilla either cause it’s not part of the language spec?" ? my point is, i can't understand why you would bring VSCode up at all in a discussion about w

honestly? i like it. properly formatted it looks alright: return ( (cellA === cellB) ? 0 : (cellA > cellB) ? 1 : -1 ); and it's an expression, so i immediately know it won't do any weird control

the "nondeterminism" here doesn't mean we're dealing with probabilities, it's a more discrete kind - it just means that instead of S1 --a--> S2 you can have S1 --a--> S2 '--a--> S3 &

"3 apples" is just a rough (though often useful!) and very context-dependent abstraction anyway. real-world apples differ in size, so you might want to count a small apple as half an apple; and does a big "twin"/&qu
