Alicates

Compact functional library made with ES2015

Functions implemented in the library are very small but not necessarily very efficient (yet). Like RamdaJS (http://ramdajs.com) and written with ES2015.

A lot of development and documentation has to be done before this can be used for more than passing its own tests.

Why Alicates?

Because it's funny to implement functions like curry with (Java|Ecma)Script like this:

const curry = (fn, arity) => (curried =>
  curried = (...args) =>
    args.length < (arity || fn.length) ? (...more) => curried(...args, ...more)
                                       : fn(...args)
)();

Or to implement a zip function like:

const zip = (arr1, arr2) => (
   ((aux) =>
      (aux = ([x1,...arr1], [x2,...arr2], acc) =>
        x1 === undefined || x2 === undefined ? acc
                                             : aux(arr1, arr2, [...acc, [x1, x2]])
      )(arr1, arr2, [])
    )()
);

Getting Started
