I liked the iterative process. I even liked the recap at the end (I usually don't like chapter summaries). I appreciate that you gave a warning against trying to optimize early and when to stop optimizing. Some might be tempted to create a helper function for the specific record to reduce the injected function to be the attribute name and the new value. While Elm does allow one to omit a number of unit tests, it does not allow the omission of functional tests, and one must have those before one starts to refactor. Perhaps you can address this.

Just a note - sometimes a little repetition is helpful when learning or teaching... At least that's what I tell myself when I find I am repeating myself :) On Tue, 29 Nov 2016 at 10:13 Wouter In t Velt wrote: > Thanks Max.

Thanks Max. I've taken out the somewhat repetitive paragraphs, to make the article itself also more compact and readable :) As for using Dict, the exercise basically shows how to extract functions by rolling your own List equivalent of Dict.update. Using Dict from the start would be less clear for the example. For collections where updating individual items is the dominant operations, I would agree that a Dict is more suitable. I have added a note about List vs Dict at the end. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.

The thing that stands out to me is that this post on removing repetition seems a little repetitive. The three sections starting with Spot the Pattern seem to have mostly the same information. Also, you mention Dict.update -- maybe the best data structure here is not a list but a dictionary keyed on the id? Then you could update the item in (basically) constant time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
