Functional-Light-JS VS monio

Functional-Light JS

- Functional-Lite JS (freely available on web here: https://github.com/getify/Functional-Light-JS)

I didn't really understand FP until I read Functional Light JavaScript by getify/Kyle Simpson. It is so well written and approachable by mere mortal coders. I'm not an FP wizard, but it is the coding paradigm I mostly use now. I've even adapted some aspects (e.g. composability) to the CSS I write using `var()`.

You can buy the book or read it on GitHub:

On the book front, there are two that I am fond of which have a focus on JavaScript and FP, Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adaquate Guide, and Functional Light JavaScript. They are nice practical books that help you lean into JS’s strength as an FP language while writing real code.

Perhaps take a look at my book, "Functional-Light JS": https://github.com/getify/Functional-Light-JS

By mere coincidence, I've been studying functional programming in JS at work with some coworkers and we're using a very nice book which is fully available in github: https://github.com/getify/Functional-Light-JS

📘 Functional-Light JavaScript by Kyle Simpson

In order to make our throwing and unsafe APIs into safe data fetching functions, we'll use data types and techniques from the Functional Programming paradigm. In particular, we'll use the fp-ts library (but you can choose the FP library of your choice, e.g. purify, effect, monio, and others).

I built a library called Monio (https://github.com/getify/monio) to provide some practical monads, specifically an all-powerful IO+Reader+Task type. Monio tries to bridge the imperative JS world with the declarative FP world by centering around the IO type that provides a friendly do-style syntax (via JS generators).

If anyone is interested in exploring this topic in that direction, I invite you to look at Monio (the monad/IO lib) https://github.com/getify/monio and Domio (a DOM oriented "framework", sorta) https://github.com/getify/domio, which is built on top of Monio. I've written a couple of full scale production apps using these, and it's become my new utopian style of programming.

Another approach (with do syntax via generator): Monio https://github.com/getify/monio -- see IO and IOEventStream.
