iter-ops VS proposal-iterator-helpers

I think I'm gonna stick with iter-ops, where I can use map without Promise resolution, so I can execute any resolution strategy described there.

So I’ve branched away from iter-ops, and into iter-ops-extras, coding away with no strings attached.

Is there a good reason to choose this solution over rxjs or iter-ops?

That's why I went an extra mile within iter-ops to provide such performance monitoring tools as pre-defined operators:

Someone posted this recently. Maybe it'll help?

P.S. I started within the esm branch there, but didn't make much progress. In case you want to re-use that branch ;)

Check out Aggregates, it explains why things like groupBy or sort aren't there.

JS supports functional programming very well, but I do miss a more native way of processing Iterators without adding a lib like iter-ops, since it is clunky (and a most likely a performance killer) converting Sets and Maps into Arrays back and forth.

Global iterator type is coming: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers

But a method named `groupBy` on iterators traditionally means a different thing: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-array-grouping/issues/51#is...

Global iterable type it's too late for, since there's many extant iterables in the language and on the web which don't have it in their prototype chain and can't reasonably be changed.

Very much agreed. The amount of mileage we get from using Spread (literally the ...) alone has been amazing. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... Iteration helpers is shipping soon, that'll be a huge help (async iteration helpers will be delayed for a while). https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers .

In the olden days, I feel like the codebases I worked on needed to use .apply() multiple times a week, to figure out some creative way of invoking functions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... That's all gone now; I'd take even odds that 50% of my team knows .call and .apply.

Chrome 117 is shipping Object.groupBy() and that's gonna be a huge help in eliminating a lot of the last places we end up using lodash. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Once this https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers reaches browsers, I'm prob gonna be exclusively using Maps.

No, probably not. But with iterator helpers, you can do

> focus more on improving the terrible JS web API

That's W3C’s job, not ECMA’s.

> Where are all the containers?

?

> Sorted sets/maps?

Sets and Maps are sorted (by insertion order)

> Why can't I even map an iterator?

It's coming, but someone will likely be exhausted by that addition. https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers

Not Generators, but Iterators have a Stage 3 proposal with helpers like these.

I guess you are not the only one dealing with this. That’s why there is this proposal https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers So hopefully it will get easier soon. But in most cases you can simply wrap it in Array.from or you can also clone with the spread operator.

Let's assume Number.range(), iterator helpers and some isPrime() function. From that we could easily create the following:
