Hindley-Milner type signatures #14

Closed jasonbellamy closed 8 years ago

jasonbellamy commented 9 years ago

Should there be a small section describing Hindley-Milner type signatures? I am just recently getting into the world of functional programming and know that at first I was confused about all these "strange comments" in the code.

hemanth commented 9 years ago

Yes there must be, I am guessing you are reading Dr.Boolean's book ;) ?

jasonbellamy commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I just finished it a couple weeks ago. It was an interesting read, and definitely piqued my interest in functional programming.

:+1:

Problem is that there's not really a standard for the signatures in JS. The examples I've seen have been an adaptation from Haskell or F# or just off-the-cuff.

It's far, far too large for here, and still not finished, but I just created a document explaining how Ramda uses these.

hemanth commented 8 years ago

@CrossEye wow!

jethrolarson commented 8 years ago

There's a small section in the document on type signatures now. Can we resolve?
