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.

Implement Promises/A+ from scratch
Today, I tried implementing Promises/A+ from scratch to test my coding skill. In the process, I’ve crafted this guide to share my insights and experiences with those who share a similar interest. Without further ado, let’s dive in.

Why is JavaScript so hated?

What the imperative shell of an Functional Core/Imperative Shell language looks like
Advantage 1, nesting, is the most important here, and it's often the most-overlooked advantage. Overlooking nesting is how Promises in Javascript got to be fundamentally broken.

[AskJS] Is JavaScript missing some built-in methods?
Have you read the infamous GitHub thread where people tried to fix this before it got finalized? It's quite a trip

This typo lasted several pomodoro sessions.
1.) JS implementation of Promise is not a monad. See this StackOverflow answer or this GitHub discussion for more details

How to implement Promise in a FAANG interview
In this article, we will go over how to implement a basic version of a promise during a FAANG interview. The standard for promise implementation is called A+, but it includes a huge amount of details, making it almost impossible to implement all of them during a one-hour coding interview. Therefore, we will focus on implementing a basic variation that should be enough to show the interviewer your solving skills.

Haskell is the greatest programming language of all time ... the rational adult in a room full of children ... When I program in Haskell, I am in utopia. I am in a different world than 99.9% of what I see posted on Reddit.

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.
