javascipt is a combinations of scheme and java

Nice try though.

Hey, I've noticed several threads like this, and quite frankly I'm confused: are you seriously trying to troll with that? Do you think that there would be anyone who will take the bait — like, assume that it is even possible to think that JS is not shit? So far nobody did it seems, so why do you continue?

about the only thing javascript has in common with scheme is support for closures

WOW! closures? those are only supported by a ton of languages nowadays!

Brendan Eich was originally hired to implement Scheme in the Netscape browser, but his superiors eventually told him to make it more Java-like so they could market it on Java's popularity with the name Javascript. Eich's intention was to make it a Scheme with Java syntax, but he sorta failed in that department. I don't even think the original implementation was tail call optimized.

JavaScript is a ``functional'' ``Scheme-like'' ``Lisp'' because it has closures. Perl had closures before JavaScript was invented. JavaScript is more like Perl and PHP than Scheme. It uses Perl-like argument arrays behind the scenes. The formal parameter names are really just aliases into this array.
function f(a) {
    console.log(a)
    arguments[0] = ": language of trolls."
    console.log(a)
}
f("JavaScript")

what other languages are

garbage collected (not c,C++)
dynamically typed (not ml, ocaml)
single namespace for functions and variables (not ruby, perl, io)
small feature spec (not python)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_functions#Language_support

javascript has the best support for functional programming besides scheme, clojure, haskell, ml and perl 6.

why the fuck do you need tail call optimization?

            return cache[args]
        except:
            result = fn(*args)
            cache[args] = result
            return result
    return wrapper



@memo
def fib(n):
  if n < 2:
    return n
  else:
    return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)


 memoize = function(func, hasher) {
    var memo = {};
    if (!hasher) hasher = function (niggar) {return niggar}
    return function() {
      var key = hasher.apply(this, arguments);
      return _.has(memo, key) ? memo[key] : (memo[key] = func.apply(this, arguments));
    };

memoization is nice, but in this case you are still using O(n) stack space when you could be using O(1). And memoization can be used in conjunction with tail call optimization.

who the fuck cares about memory? my 20 dollar linode instance has 2 gb of ram. If your function needs to call itself that many times, than your algorithm fucking sucks.

if your program is that memory sensitive, then you'll probably need to inline the call into a loop instead of doing recursion (the haskell compiler does this automatically, so unrolling it by hand is not that hard, simply the cost of using a pop culture language).

i'll gladly trade decent stack traces for linear stack space. The speed of a dict lookup is still constant, and the memory gets collected on return anyway.


v8 allows you to turn on TCO if you really need it, but no one ever has in real code.

why don't compilers nowadays optimize most recursion to loops anyway?

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-18 17:39

>>32

it is much harder to do that efficiently in languages with late-bound types.

statically typed languages don't usually do it because their users don't know what recursion is.
