"by decoupling how a function recurses over data from what the function actually does" second read at same phrase and need 10 more times. THANKS @importantshock @FLJSbook #fp @javascript_fan

Both QIO and cofx look related and interesting. Appreciate you sharing. Not clear that Monio merely duplicates them (I think there are reasons for Monio to still exist), but I do think I should probably cite them in Monio's docs as relevant adjacent work.

Thanks to @ajchambeaud I found the library I was talking about: github.com/neurosnap/cofx. Same idea of the other one I found, but this uses generators as a way of making the code more "imperative/doblocky"

I did release @FLJSbook a few years back. My latest explorations in FP may or may not end up in a sequel to that book, someday.

I do love making monads more approachable, but conflating terms leads to confusion. Something with map, fold, concat, etc does not necessarily mean it’s a monad. And that is what I took you as claiming.

If you followed along and you're intrigued, check out my Monio library: github.com/getify/monio
And for more reading on monads:
github.com/getify/Functional…
(that's appendix B of my @FLJSbook, which I also encourage you to read all of!)

As for "best practice" i.e. efficiency, using tail calls ( TCO) can help with really deep recursion but also don't forget to consider the "human efficiency" of how long it takes you to read/write the code! Sometimes iterative code is the clearer & faster choice 🙂

so my advice would be: try normal recursion first, then apply a trampoline. I would advocate PTC form except that nobody but Webkit supports, so it's not that useful yet.

for a **lot** more detail on recursion, see ch8 of my @FLJSbook: github.com/getify/Functional…

I have an appendix in @fljsbook about them:
github.com/getify/Functional…
also, my FP course on @FrontendMasters has a whole section about them.
