Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Functional Programming 1
2. https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land (A bit heavy on jargon)
Note there is a python version of Ramda available on pypi and there’s a lot of FP tidbits inside JAX:
3. https://pypi.org/project/ramda/ (Worth making your own version if you want to learn, though)
4. For nested data, JAX tree_util is epic: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.tree_util.html and also their curry implementation is funny: https://github.com/google/jax/blob/4ac2bdc2b1d71ec0010412a32...
Anyway don’t put FP on a pedestal, main thing is to focus on the core principles of avoiding external mutation and making helper functions. Doesn’t always work because some languages like Rust don’t have legit support for currying (afaik in 2023 August), but in those cases you can hack it with builder methods to an extent.
Finally, if you want to understand the middle of the midwit meme, check out this wiki article and connect the free monoid to the Kleene star (0 or more copies of your pattern) and Kleene plus (1 or more copies of your pattern). Those are also in regex so it can help you remember the regex symbols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_monoid?wprov=sfti1
The simplest example might be {0}^* in which case
0: “” // because we use *

Ramda: A practical functional library for JavaScript programmers
It was never really my jam, but I used to follow the up-and-coming fantasy-land specs with great interest. It just seemed like a sharp dedicated community of folks trying to figure out better fp & algebraic stuff. I'm not sure who trailed off - in general I feel like there's much less connection in tech world, that the tech twitter and every other ultra-active tech channel has somewhat decayed. https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land
Thanks for the links. I know I've seen @gcanti's name a thousand times already, but it's already quite murky to me what it was attached to. Something in this sphere.

I came across the "Fantasy Land Specification", it somewhat conflicts with my own simplistic understanding of monads and functors. Is this specification valid, and should I honor it?
While building a purely functional data structure library for personal fun and professional use, and while using other libraries, I found that the "Fantasy Land Specification" was mentioned from time to time. They use this hierarchy. Although I did read some about category theory (tried and failed to fully understand all the concepts), some of the terms used in the specification are unknown to me (like Chain, Apply). My question:
-
Best explanation of monads ive ever seen, from the practical developper’s point of view.
No: neither of those examples are "properties of futures and of lists as such." "Async/Await" in particular is a special case of monadic behavior of a concurrency monad. This specifically (infamously) came up in the evolution of the Prommise spec in ECMAScript, which in turn led to the development of the Fantasy Land Spec and various implementations of it.
- should i learn design patterns?

Design Patterns Book for functional programming?
If you're programming in TypeScript you can checkout the fantasy land spec. It provides a spec for all the algebraic structures used in the JS world. You can learn what they are. You'll want to find alternative resources to learn what they are how they work. Fantasy land is just a spec not a guide.

Imutability, react and typescrip: how to do it the clean way?
Check out Object.freeze. There's also Immutable.js for working with immutable data.

How To Scale Your React Applications
Use immutability to manage state updates When updating state in your React application, it's important to ensure that you are not mutating the original state object. Instead, you should create a new copy of the state object with the updated values. Immutability makes it easier to manage state updates and ensures that the updates are performed in a predictable and safe manner. Libraries like Immutable.js provide a set of functions that simplify working with immutable data in React applications.

Is it possible to strongly type properties of class dynamically added in the constructor?
We're wanting to get rid of immutable so I'm trying to replicate what it is about the Record functionality and types that allow this dynamic property access to work. After pulling my hair out looking through the [email protected] type definitions and the actual code, to me it looks like the types are just kind of lying about what's going on ... and it's just working. Does anyone have any ideas how I can replicate this dynamic property access with strong typings?

Functional immutable game state
The Immutable.js README has a much more complete description of immutability and why you might want to use the library. Also worth mentioning that Immer is an alternative which is a bit easier to get started with.

Immutable Collections should be Your Default
I can't speak to C# and Java, but the suggestion in this post: ImmutableJS already uses Persistent data structures. (It's the second sentence of their introduction)

How do I type reduce when Im reducing an array to count elements?
Avoiding mutation is just never modifiyng an object, ever. There are tons of implementations of this pattern, notably immutable.js (https://immutable-js.com/), Redux is also an example of this philosophy.

Alan Perlis and the Evolution of Programming Languages
JavaScript is most programers' first introduction to map, filter, and reduce. Easy lambdas made those higher-order functions a staple of a lot of JS code.
Meanwhile, immutable.js[0] is at 10 million downloads per week and rising.
I would add that it's not just the ease of use of lambdas, but the fact that in JavaScript functions really are first class citizens. Most of the other widely used languages that people start on have lambda functions added in as a bit of a hack and only treat some functions as real values.
