Scribbler Articles on Functional-Programming

Lazy evaluation can be a powerful tool for optimizing performance and managing resource-intensive operations in JavaScript. By using generators, closures, higher-order functions, and promises, developers can implement lazy evaluation techniques to defer computation and handle large data sets more efficiently.

Higher-order functions are functions that take other functions as arguments or return them as values. They are an essential part of functional programming, and JavaScript has many built-in higher-order functions, such as forEach, map, filter, reduce.

Closure is an important feature available in JavaScript to do functional style programming. There are many practial applications of closure including in mathematical computations, UI experince, machine learning etc.

Some techniques to avoid writing for/while loops in JavaScript for readability and performance using Array functions like map, reduce, and forEach. These are second order functions and are helpful in writing functional style code.

Turns out, JavaScript is in fact ideal for functional programming.
