| 21:03.11 | dataw0lf | Wow. |
| 21:03.22 | dataw0lf | did anyone else know that JavaScript had lambdas? |
| 21:04.06 | dataw0lf | Lambda as in anonymous function. |
| 21:07.01 | macnewbold | isn't a lambda a function that returns a function? |
| 21:07.17 | macnewbold | been too long, I'm forgetting stuff... |
| 21:08.59 | dataw0lf | lambdas are a way to bind variables to values which are evaluated within a specified expression. |
| 21:09.59 | dataw0lf | you're thinking of curried functions |
| 21:10.09 | dataw0lf | there are higher order functions which take functions as arguments |
| 21:10.21 | dataw0lf | and then curried higher order functions which return functions |
| 21:11.18 | dataw0lf | basically they're all part of the 'functional programming' paradigm |
| 21:12.00 | macnewbold | right |
| 21:12.06 | macnewbold | anon funcs aren't all that uncommon though |
| 21:12.17 | macnewbold | you can do them in perl too |
| 21:12.38 | macnewbold | they're really handy when you need to create a simple little callback to pass to another function |
| 21:13.02 | dataw0lf | Well, yeah, of course. |
| 21:13.07 | macnewbold | :) |
| 21:13.18 | dataw0lf | But I didn't know that JavaScript had functional programming abilities. |
| 21:13.31 | dataw0lf | This is half the reason why javascript looks so ugly to me. |
| 21:13.39 | dataw0lf | it could be solved with functional programming techniques. |
| 21:13.39 | macnewbold | hehe |
| 21:13.43 | macnewbold | it still looks ugly to me |
| 21:13.56 | dataw0lf | yea, it'll never be completely fixed. |
| 21:14.01 | macnewbold | how many JS "programmers" do you think would be able to grasp functional programming? |
| 21:14.14 | dataw0lf | Yea, that's the real problem, and why i've never seen it before ;) |
