Today I will demonstrate how to create a Linked List without any data structures like Object or Arrays; Instead, using Function Combinators.

That's the best explanation I have seen on
Combinators. Thanks for writing this.Thanks! It's a topic most people aren't interested in, so I hope I was able to make it interesting!
Your implementation of the list does not load in Chrome. Error is:
Unable to load embed. Syntax error found in Preamble. See console for error.I believe this is a problem with the runkit embed on the site. I just confirmed that the code itself does run in Chrome.
Does the Runkit embed show on your screen are you able to see the code? I'm not seeing any problems on my computer.
It does not work in Chrome for me. This is what I see: dropbox.com/s/oedl3d60pvzni18/Scre...
Ahh I see it now! It looks like the first two runkit embeds are working. The others following do not. I have opened up a support ticket on Github for this issue.
github.com/forem/forem/issues/9773
It looks as if that issue is now resolved. I don't know if the fix requires changes from you to get these working properly.
BTW, a very nice article!
Awesome. Looks like I had to resave the page.
Loved it, and thank you for using RunKit!
One thing: is there a reason why the combinators are named I, K, V, B instead of having more mnemonic names?
Oh this is the fun part. Maybe I should have mentioned it in the article. A lot of the combinators do go by other names. But my favorite names for function combinators actually come from To Mock a Mockingbird. In To Mock a Mockingbird, they are named after birds!
The Combinator Birds (for I, K, V, B) are:
B - Bluebird
K - Kestrel
V - Vireo
and my absolute favorite is
I - Identity Bird
because it is also famously referred to as The Idiot!
The letters are probably because function combinators come from maths. And math people just like single letters. (I'm just guessing at this)
Thank you!
I'll call them Identity, Bluebird, Kestrel and Vireo :D
Its called functional. xD
I see you found Runkit 😄
Thanks for pointing me there!
I really only knew about the CodePen embeds and those didn't work for what I wanted.
Nice implementation and consumption of runkit. i like it
Thanks! I'm hoping to use runkit more in my posts. I wish I had some stats on how many actually are using it.
Cheers!
keep these posts coming... great write up
Thanks! I have a few more articles at about 90%. I just need to spend some time to get them over the finish line.
Cheers!
