Mostly Adequate Guide
This project is a comprehensive educational guide and curriculum for applying functional programming principles and category theory within the JavaScript ecosystem. It provides a structured learning path focused on writing predictable and scalable code through the use of pure functions and immutability.
The resource includes a dedicated course on algebraic data structures and a functional programming tutorial. To reinforce theoretical concepts, it features a set of interactive coding exercises and runnable programming challenges for hands-on practice.
The materials cover a broad range of functional programming topics, including the study of the JavaScript type system and the implementation of categorical constructs and type classes.
