Thoughts on Software
I’ve recently been writing a lot of lazy functional code in C# that allows for better re-usability and cleaner solution than it would have been if it had been written in an Object Oriented manner. This also helped in lower level code by focusing on steps to solve a problem rather than worrying about scoping and sequence of execution.
Iterators and Generators in JavaScript gives us a more expressive write expressive lazy code. Lazily executed code can give us a bit of a performance boost because computations can be delayed until they are needed. This allows us to create some very interesting functions that can generate an infinite amount of output.
ES6 gives us a new way of assigning values using pattern matching allowing us to destructure objects and arrays to the smaller pieces that we require. This gives us a more expressive way mapping values from one object to smaller variables.
ES6 introduces a new way of assigning properties to an Object Literal to save us some of those precious keystrokes along with some fancy way of assigning computed properties.
