Learn from Haskell - Functional, Reusable JavaScript
http://seanhess.github.io/2012/02/20/functional_javascript.html
Learn from Haskell - Functional, Reusable JavaScript. Learn You a Haskell: For Great Good? For the last couple months I have been learning. Because there are so many unfamiliar concepts, it feels like learning to program all over again. At i.TV. We write a lot of JavaScript ( node.js. And front end). While many functional/haskell paradigms don’t translate, there are a few techniques that JS can benefit from. There are Haskell library functions for. Exactly matching a value. 2, same as first example.

Bad Optimization is like firing clay
http://seanhess.github.io/2011/12/15/optimization_is_like_firing_clay.html
Bad Optimization is like firing clay. When optimized doesn’t mean better. Literally means to find the best possible solution. It’s hard to see how that could be bad, since it means to make something better. However, another definition is to make something better for a specific purpose, at the expense of others. In that case, sometimes it’s not the right choice. Optimization is only bad when you trade flexibility for performance. But pay attention when you come to a trade-off. I have to learn this again?
