Looking for IO #8

Hi, I have and am again watching your frontend masters HCFP in JS videos. There is a whole section on IO which it says is in pointfree.IO.IO, however, I don't see it in here. Am I missing something. Thanks, R

Hi! There are a few IO implementations out there. The HCFP stuff is a tad outdated. Check the support and exercises here: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide/tree/master/code/part2_exercises

Hey, thanks for the quick response. I know those videos are ancient history! :) I will download and do those exercises in a bit but my env just stb so I'm reinstalling ubuntu. In the meantime is there a good place to go to discus the sort of stuff that was in your videos? I presume this is not it. Also it seems like there are support.js files that define a lot of the stuff that are/is used in the exercises. Is this the preferred way as opposed to using libraries such as pointfree and folktail? Thanks again, r

Happy to help!

I've seen FunctionalJS irc channels and stuff, but I'm not sure about a central discussion board. Start one :)

Since the types are standard for the most part, ones you find in Folktale, FantasyLand, Ramda-fantasy will be the similar or identical. I'm thinking ramda/ramda-fantasy is probably a good starting place unless you need an extra type or two from elsewhere. I still use folktale all the time and bacon too.
