Re: [elm-discuss] Proposal: rename foldl til foldLeft and foldr to foldRight

I would love more Ruby-like names across the board, except for the presence of aliases, but Elm grew out of Haskell so it carries some of that history. It really comes down to what Evan wants to do. People come to Elm from many languages, and everyone has preferences. Changing things makes

That makes total sense. Being able to monitor model updates in debug mode isn't the same as being able to step through the call stack. Being able to do the latter by setting breakpoints would be useful. On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 11:24 AM, Robin Heggelund Hansen < skinney...@gmail.com> wrote: >

I've done a lot of library work lately where Cmds and Subs haven't been a part of the project, so yes, in a project where the main way to run your code is through fuzz tests, breakpoints would be immensively helpful. That being said, having a Debug.breakpoint function is just a convenience,

[elm-discuss] Re: Proposal: rename foldl til foldLeft and foldr to foldRight

Define "other functional languages". Clojure(script) doesn't have fold, but reduce. F# has fold and foldBack. What other languages do is, however, besides the point. The question is, what is more readable? It's easier to confuse foldl with foldr than it is to confuse fold(Left) with foldRight.

Re: [elm-discuss] Proposal: Add Debug.breakpoint to core

Elm, as great as it is, doesn't save you from debugging every once in a while. The one option we have now, is logging. Logging is great, but it can quickly become painful in loops. Since Elm compiles to a single JS file with long mangled names, setting a breakpoint from the code would sometimes

@Mark this is a pattern I've been exploring recently. An area that I haven't found a solution to is keeping the view model in sync with the shared models. For instance, let's say I have a view with a list of checkboxes next to each user. The state for the checkboxes would be kept in the view
