Nah.
I fiddled around a bit with Haskell but being forced to make absolutely everything recursive isn't quite my cup of tea. -
squirvel2047yDoesn't recursion typically have a higher memory footprint than a well written for loop though? (Or am I just dumb)
-
Wombat102447y@SHA-16384 @AlexDeLarge I absolutely agree. But for me in most cases map() and reduce() do the job.
-
Wombat102447y@AlexDeLarge you can improve recursion in JavaScript by adding an parameter. But you probably know that already.
-
Maps, filters, reducers, etc are more composable
Yes recursion is very nice. Though I don't seem to use it much. At all actually. Need to keep an eye out -
Wombat102447y@AlexDeLarge I agree. I thought you meant the stack size exceeded problem in JavaScript...
