  3. episode-code-samples

    💾 Point-Free episode code.

    I come from the iOS world and one of the most valuable resources I have found for understanding FP in Swift is https://www.pointfree.co These guys go over the theoretical concepts and then not only ask, "what's the point?" but they then go on to build out more complicated examples or even complete apps and publish useful libraries on GitHub.

  4. todomvc

    Helping you select a JavaScript framework - Todo apps for React.js, Angular, Vue and many more

    Um, just thought of something. If all the whatevers are so great (IO monad, state monad, applicatives, etc.) they should be demonstrated in one of these examples.

  5. milewski-ctfp-pdf

    Bartosz Milewski's 'Category Theory for Programmers' unofficial PDF and LaTeX source

    Bartosz Milewski said it well in his introduction to Category Theory for Programmers:

  6. todo

    A basic to-do app implemented in Atomic. (by mlanza)

    I wrote a TodoMVC example and I think it's pretty readable even to the OO programmer. And the unfamiliar stuff I'm doing wouldn't be a crazy leap for them.

  7. atomic

    Write ClojureScript in JavaScript without a transpiler. (by mlanza)

    So I don't even do Clojure per se. I do Clojure in JavaScript without ClojureScript.
