“Make the Leap from <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/javascript" target="_blank">JavaScript</a> to PureScript” takes some of the most popular functional <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/programming" target="_blank">programming</a> (FP) abstractions in JavaScript and demonstrates how to implement them in <a href="http://www.purescript.org/" target="_blank">PureScript</a>. I borrowed the series outline and JavaScript code samples with permission from the egghead.io course <a href="https://egghead.io/courses/professor-frisby-introduces-composable-functional-javascript" target="_blank">Professor Frisby Introduces Composable Functional JavaScript</a> by <a href="https://github.com/DrBoolean" target="_blank">Brian Lonsdorf</a>. I want to thank Brian (an enthusiastic coder of PureScript) for supporting this project.

Make the Leap from JavaScript to PureScript

One of the behind-the-scenes changes that is coming with ES6 is support for tail call optimization (TCO). Tail call optimization means that, if the last expression in a function is a call to another function, then the engine will optimize so that the call stack does not grow. Let’s take a look.

Tail Call Optimization (TCO) in JavaScript

Design decisions core to JavaScript have caused a multitude of problems for benchmarking. Is there a solution to this?

Why Is JavaScript Benchmarking a Mess?

“Just as you like,” said the young man; “you know all my circumstances and how important it is that my secret should be kept.”

This post is substantially directed to non Haskellers. Haskell frequently appears on hackernews or /r/programming but the content is commonly evangelizing some aspect of functional programming, strong types, and purity.

Functional Programming is not What Makes Haskell Great

Did you know that recursion can be optimized using a concept which works similar to the way how we jump on a  trampoline.

At the beginning of the year, when I started building Archbee, I evaluated some cool tech out there. Here’s the list of tech I think will change the world in ways we can’t even predict.

Functional <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/programming" target="_blank">Programming</a> tends to scare people with the academic terms borrowed from Category Theory to describe interfaces known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_structure" target="_blank">“Algebraic Structures”</a>.

Immutability? that is the question!

Casual functional adventures in JavaScript

Functional programming has been on rise of late. Boasting on so many amazing features in functional programming, a plethora of new set of functional programming languages have come to existence. All these newer languages have been trying to reduce the friction a programmer faces while trying to move to functional programming. With its unique set of features, many of them target a specific audience, e.g. Scala has been targeting Java and object oriented community by providing a unique combination of functional and object oriented philosophy on JVM. Elixir has been targeting Ruby community with its unique features of ruby like syntax and actor model based inter process communication built on top of Erlang VM and so on. There are many more languages and they provide some or the other features which seem difficult to resist.

People often ask us for an overview of how Tailscale works. We’ve been putting off answering that, because we kept changing it! But now things have started to settle down.
