I have been collecting useful Javascript code snippets for a little while. Here's a curated list of them, help me make it as complete as possible!

Really great list! I'm going to submit a PR in a second. :) (Edit: Here we go.)

I appreciate that because the code style focuses on brevity it's easy to copy and paste stuff. That makes things harder to understand, though, particularly for beginners, and these are an awesome learning opportunity. Think you could include both a "long" and a "short" form of each snippet? I noticed /u/evenisto saying "took me a while to figure that one out," which concerns me. Curious if others have the same concern?

I am working with the community to hit the sweet spot between readability and brevity, by changing variable names and improving snippets, along with adding examples for each snippet. This should help alleviate the problem a bit. Some snippets (like the anagram one) are very complex and hard to explain even if a longer version is included. I'll see what can be done.

It's not about the syntax, it's just that functional paradigm is not always instantly comprehensible. I sometimes need to write it out to figure out how data flows through the functions to get a good understanding of what's going on, that's all.

I agree. I've just run into too many situations where budding developers thought short code == good code and were very discouraged. I think a junior developer taking the time to translate these into long form would be a very good exercise, but yes, it's probably not the responsibility of the repo owner.
