I am convinced, that stricter types are of help when writing, reading and understanding source code. Why? Ever had the primitive obsession? And if you continue down the (type) rabbit whole, you get to stricter typing. And to Purescript, which attempts "to keep the semantics of JavaScript, while enjoying the syntax and type system of a language like Haskell".
Another pearl by @KevlinHenney in his Functional Programming You Already Know
is his explaination of why we actually should leave out prefixes to our functions, such as get
and set.
@KevlinHenney is always worth watching, so there is Functional Programming You Already Know by him. I would like to extract this one piece where he explains decoupling in a great way, I think.
I first heard @bodil talk at the 2014 craftconf in Budapest where I saw her presentation where she was live coding in at least 10 languages on stage.
