A Guide to Functional Programming Lingo for JavaScripters
Functional programming gets a bad wrap about being too hard for mere mortals to comprehend. This is nonsense. The concepts are actually quite simple to grasp.
The jargon is the hardest part. A lot of that vocabulary comes from a specialized field of mathematical study called category theory (with a liberal sprinkling of type theory and abstract algebra). This sounds a lot scarier than it is. You can do this!
All examples using ES6 syntax. wrap (foo) => bar means:
What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.
What forces layout / reflow
All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.
Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.
Uses the SubtleCrypto interface of the Web Cryptography API to hash a message using SHA-256.

Software Transactional Memory in C++: Pure Functional Approach (tutorial)
Software Transactional Memory in C++: pure functional approach (Tutorial)
In this article I’ll tell you about my pure functional library for Software Transactional Memory (STM) that I’ve built in C++. I adopted some advanced functional programming concepts that make it composable and convenient to use. Its implementation is rather small and robust, which differentiates the library from competitors. Let’s discuss what STM is and how to use it.
