They searched for a radically simpler set of tools that could accomplish all of the same things. They established that arbitrary computations could be represented a small set of axiomatic components. For example, we don't need arrays to represent lists, or even POJOs to represent nodes in a linked list. We can model lists just using functions. @@ -519,4 +519,4 @@ There are many tools for hiding implementation information, and we have now seen --- -*This post was extracted from the in-progress book, [JavaScript Allongé, The "Six" Edition][ja6].
