ramda VS lazy.js

JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/

It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.

But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)

It's worth noting that using Intl.Collator() and localeCompare() is not the only way to sort the strings for different languages, you can also use other libraries like lodash or ramda .

Like yes, if you're choosing between the two, Ramda is functionally immutable, but it creates a brand new copy, every time, of arrays and maps, by looping through them iteratively.

Lazy.js - Utility library similar to lodash/Underscore but with lazy evaluation, which can translate to superior performance in many cases.
