- Dates: March 8, 2022
- Time: 8:00–9:00 PST
- Attendee information: Reflector
Please add topics you would like from the proposals from the current charter.
- General definition (helper functions that would go in the
Function
constructor or maybe other built-in constructors – usually create callbacks, i.e., usually higher-level functions / metafunctions) - Background from proposal-function-helpers’s 2021-10 rejection (see summary of rejection and its plenary notes)
- Review of specific examples from proposal-function-helpers:
flow
,pipe
,constant
,identity
,noop
,once
,aside
,throttle
,debounce
- General approach, criteria, and limits to inclusion of helper functions in core language
- Classification of individual helper functions: which, if any, are worth pursuing next as separated proposals (JSC’s current plan is to tackle flow and pipe functions first as non-controversial adjuncts to the pipe operator)
