This guide will use JavaScript instead of a pure functional programming language (e.g. Haskell) to make things more approachable for developers accustomed to imperative languages. It will, however, assume you have basic knowledge of functional programming, including currying and lambdas.
This is part of a three part examining the underling mathematics and mechanics of Asynchronous programming with javascript When i wanted to make sense of the continuations , i started from the basics…
Dealing with stateful computations can be a real pain when you are writing purely functional JavaScript code. It can result in things like undesired variable declarations, and if you are not using…

This concepts are very used nowadays on functional programing, but because of the heavy mathematical background, sometimes it may be confusing to understand all the definitions. In this post I’ll try…
If you go searching the internet for “monad” you’re going to get bombarded by impenetrable category theory math and a bunch of people “helpfully” explaining monads in terms of burritos and space…
In Javascript understanding functional programming is becoming a necessity to quickly on-board and become productive thanks to React and Flux. But with Monad and Setoid groups, being able to grok FP…
