Hi all, I've finally written a guide to using Flow. I've never written a walk- through before, and would appreciate everyone's feedback! Check it out at https://github.com/bemson/Flow/wiki/Using-Flow

Imperative languages have a knack for being dangerous, and JavaScript is no different. By definition, a function is a black-box of implementation. They run when they're called, asking and giving no context for their execution. When something breaks, we waste hours searching for the exact scenario we did *not* code for. (Only the sharpest minds could track so much complexity.) Yes, it's extreme, but I don't trust functions anymore. That's why I created and use Flow. ;-) -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
