The biggest sources of code complexity are state & control flow. Loops, conditionals, try/catch blocks, callbacks, & mutable variable assignment is one way to ensure such complexity. By contrast, if we have a composable set of pieces that plug together, we can “dot chain” a single expression for which our data flows through. We’ll examine techniques from functional programming, borrow some moves from OO, and write blocks of dead-simple to understand code.Show more
