    It is always important to know how to submit a bug report. It doesn't help that every community has different expectations, and every bug tracking system has a different layout. In Squeak, the learning curve is long but shallow. In this 23 minute screencast, Ken Causey starts with some bug hunting tips, and explains how to make a Smalltalk changeset file that is numbered, documented and compressed. He then shows how to submit this to the Mantis server on bugs.squeak.org.

  • there is a little bit of hand-waving involved in calling JavaScript a functional language. JavaScript is not a side-effect free language, nor is it an expression-based language (i.e., it is not value-oriented, but rather variable-oriented). There is no tail call optimization in any of the current implementations, so recursion must be kept shallow. And the list goes on. Truth be told, JavaScript is really one of the first hybrid imperative-functional languages.
  • Higher-order functions allow us to do functional composition,
  • Since JavaScript does not have "overloaded" functions, this type of functionality is usually simulated using manipulation of the function's arguments. Currying comes in handy because it allows you to do this manipulation in a much cleaner and more modular way.

  • Closures have quite a few applications in real-world JavaScript: event binding, callbacks, sorting, mapping (in the classical Lisp sense), and many others. In more modern JavaScript programming, you can find them almost everywhere.

    This is a short tutorial approach to an old but little-noticed saw.
