Learning about functions like

map

,

reduce

and

filter

dramatically changed the way I approach writing code - for the better, in my opinion; highly recommend learning them if for nothing else than to think about other ways to approach code instead of just writing loops everywhere

If I can add my 2 cents, I recommend checking materials about Functional Programming Paradigm, Immutability and Concurrency Model. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop https://facebook.github.io/immutable-js/ https://medium.freecodecamp.org/immutable-js-is-intimidating-heres-how-to-get-started-2db1770466d6 https://ramdajs.com/ https://github.com/ryanmcdermott/clean-code-javascript

Have you tried Clojure or ClojureScript ? ClojureScript compiles to JS

I've not

Ramda... /nightmare

That's my fault, not ramdas

i think its functional programmings fault. Just not a fan of it (currently)

Also, functional programming is not for everyone, especially if you've grown up doing procedural and object-oriented your whole life.

yep i would fall into that for sure

If you love OOP and are efficient with it, great then do it

Does something like ramda run in the SS environment? While it's kinda head wrecking, the Functional philosophy is something I can get behind.

it does run its just BEYOND slow

@creece Thanks for your insights. 😄

yep np.. client side its fast though*

Good to know. 🙂
