Contributing

This project is a work in progress. Contributions are very welcome.

That said, we'd like to maintain some consistency across the document.

Style guide

  1. Every definition should include at least one JavaScript code example.
  2. Definitions should be written using the simplest language possible. Every word should tell.
  3. Target programmers that have no functional programming experience.
  4. We value understandability more than accuracy. e.g. It's okay to describe a functor as a container.
  5. Don't overuse jargon even if defined elsewhere in the document.
  6. Link to terms defined in the document when you use them in a definition.
  7. Avoid big walls of text

Code conventions

Be consistent with other examples

  • Prefer arrow functions
  • Parenthesis around function arguments
  • Put output values in comments
  • Use semi-colons
  • Keep it short and simple

This styleguide is a WIP too! Send PRs :)
