Ask me dumb questions about functional programming

Hello! I am the author of MojiScript (a functional re-imagining of JavaScript) and I would like to help programmers who may be functional-curious :)

Have questions about functional programming but were afraid to ask?

Post questions here or @ me on twitter @joelnet use the hashtag #fpquestion.

I'll do my best to answer your questions and if I don't know, I'll try to point you in the right direction. If I can't do that, I'm sure someone smarter than I am will swoop in to save the day.

Don't bother asking "What is a Monad?" because everyone knows:

A monad in X is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors of X

If you have a code question, like "How do I do XXX" and you post source code, please make sure the code is runnable and make sure the code is boiled down to as small as you can make it. I can't convert your 1,000 file for you :)

Example of a good question

How do I do this...

for (let i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
  setTimeout(() => console.log(i), 1000)
}

Oh and let's have fun!

My articles are very Functional JavaScript heavy, if you need more FP, follow me here, or on Twitter @joelnet!
