Looking for IO

[reharik]

Hi, I have and am again watching your frontend masters HCFP in JS videos. There is a whole section on IO which it says is in pointfree.IO.IO, however, I don't see it in here. Am I missing something.
Thanks,

Hi! There are a few IO implementations out there. The HCFP stuff is a tad outdated. Check the support and exercises here: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide/tree/master/code/part2_exercises

Hey, thanks for the quick response.
I know those videos are ancient history! :)
I will download and do those exercises in a bit but my env just stb so I'm reinstalling ubuntu.
In the meantime is there a good place to go to discus the sort of stuff that was in your videos? I presume this is not it.
Also it seems like there are support.js files that define a lot of the stuff that are/is used in the exercises. Is this the preferred way as opposed to using libraries such as pointfree and folktail?
Thanks again,

Happy to help!

I've seen FunctionalJS irc channels and stuff, but I'm not sure about a central discussion board. Start one :)

Since the types are standard for the most part, ones you find in Folktale, FantasyLand, Ramda-fantasy will be the similar or identical. I'm thinking ramda/ramda-fantasy is probably a good starting place unless you need an extra type or two from elsewhere. I still use folktale all the time and bacon too.
