    I think it’s great that functional programming is making its way into traditional imperative languages - even JavaScript (I recently came across https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/ as a pretty extreme example)

    Elixir/Erlang has function-level pattern matching, which I really like. I’ve yet to see it anywhere else, though my understanding is it came from Prolog.

  • Type-Safe Printf() in TypeScript

    While I certainly agree, I've found that this is often an indication of too-complex an architecture, and a fundamental re-think being necessary. I've had projects that depend on [fp-ts], which end up incredibly generic-heavy, but still make it entirely through a typecheck(not build- typescript's just worse at that than other tools like esbuild) in seconds-at-worse.

    Obviously depends on your organization/project/application, but I do like these things as complexity-smells.

  • Introducing fp-utils a functional utility library for Deno / Node

    Unlike more comprehensive functional libraries like fp-ts, each module can be imported and resolved separately. If you just need options, simply add the option module and you're good to go.
  • Blog post: graphs and monads with Typescript

    While it's quite abstract, I believe it may be useful to those of you who is interested to learn more about functional programming [in Typescript] and also get more intuition on diverse programming ideas. I use fp-ts as a functional programming library there.
  • Functional Programming Library for Golang by IBM

    The library for TypeScript that this is influenced by is here:

    Interesting how both languages with this library converge to a similar syntax, due to heavy use of functions.

  • Is Scala worth learning in 2023?
    5 projects | /r/scala | 29 Jun 2023
    Learn something that pays the bill first - nowadays it's Golang/Rust react/typescript. Then you can try some pure fp libs like fp-ts and fp-core.rs, and look through existing scala cats docs. If you'll feel bad about it - that's totally fine and expectable, fp takes a paradigm shift and not that many dev able to shift their brains way of thought due to basic psychological rigidity) (inability to change habits and to modify concepts/attitudes once developed). And that's purely a staffing and management issue - folks hired randoms out of the blue, and called 'em a team.
  • Application Bootstrapping with fp-ts
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 Jun 2023
    fp-ts, a library that caters to functional programming in TypeScript, comes with some micro-abstractions that already solve a few of our needs.

    Also, don't underestimate how powerful TypeScript can be in capable hands (namely Giulio Canti's). Check out fp-ts, for instance.
  • Use Pure Functions to understand functional programming
    1 project | /r/javascript | 18 May 2023
    You are able to type it using function overloads, an example can be found here - link, line 236.

    looks like more ergonomic/focused version of fp-ts[1]
