In JavaScript, objects can be used to serve various purposes.

To maximise our usage of the type system, we should assign different types to our objects depending
on the desired purpose.

In this blog post I will clarify two common purposes for objects known as records and dictionaries
(aka maps), and how they can both be used with regards to the type system.

async/await is just the do-notation of the Promise monad

CertSimple just wrote a blog post arguing ES2017's async/await was the best thing to happen with JavaScript. I wholeheartedly agree.

In short, one of the (few?) good things about JavaScript used to be how well it handled asynchronous requests. This was mostly thanks to its Scheme-inherited implementation of functions and closures. That, though, was also one of its worst faults, because it led to the "callback hell", an seemingly unavoidable pattern that made highly asynchronous JS code almost unreadable. Many solutions attempted to solve that, but most failed. Promises almost did it, but failed too. Finally, async/await is here and, combined with Promises, it solves the problem for good. On this post, I'll explain why that is the case and trace a link between promises, async/await, the do-notation and monads.

First, let's illustrate the 3 styles by implementing

public class Hello
{
   public static void Main()
   {
-      System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
+      System.Console.WriteLine("Rock all night long!");
   }
}

function mapValues(obj, fn) {
  return Object.keys(obj).reduce((result, key) => {
    result[key] = fn(obj[key], key);
    return result;
  }, {});
}

function pick(obj, fn) {
  return Object.keys(obj).reduce((result, key) => {
    if (fn(obj[key])) {

Greensock CSS properties Cheat Sheet

I wrote this as a reference for myself because some of the property names are non-obvious, and there are a number of relevant special properties, and there is no central concise listing of them all in GSAP Docs, other than (in longer form) on the CSSPlugin page.

Standard CSS properties

...are all supported, with hyphenated-names becoming camelCaseNames. Non-animatable properties are also supported but they will be set at the beginning of the tween.

Special mentions:

afternoon

find app/src -name "*.js" -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.js}.ts"' {} \;

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
