Folktale by example

[Conaws]

Hey, just wondering if you guys are still planning on putting that book out, it looks like only the first part of the first chapter has been published.

Yes, it'll be released.

Probably mid 2016, since I haven't had much time to work on it this year.

Great, looking forward to it

Is there any update on this book? Looking forward to it.
Thanks.

Not yet. I want to tackle this after we release Folktale 2 (which hopefully will be close to the end of July/start of September). But I'm putting a lot of work on Folktale 2's documentation, so it should be accessible to people who're JS programmers, and have some knowledge of functional programming.

Tooling for reading the documentation is still not quite there yet, but will hopefully be by the time of the release (we have a REPL documentation browser right now, I want to have a more visual UI by the release date). Here's an example of what you can expect from the new docs though: https://github.com/origamitower/folktale/blob/master/src/core/lambda/compose.js
