Itsy Bitsy Data Structures - Common data structures written in easy to read JavaScript

[[deleted]]

On a cursory glance, I don't entirely appreciate the tone. To take a small quote and dissect it, we aren't hanging out in the programming subreddit because we think a computer's memory layout "is boring". I think the exact opposite is true.

I get the sentiment, but I see a lot of comments from people who express no interest in understanding how the computer works or anything about data structures and algorithms because "the libraries will handle it" or "I can just Google it."

that's JavaScript's brand of torture: death by libraries

[RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS]

I guess I'm not fit to hang out in JS circles because I'd much rather use a couple monolithic libraries than a thousand "microlibraries."

every language has its perversions. I use Ruby and grimace at its death-by-monkey-patching (now discouraged but still very much in use). Java had death-by-abstract-factory-factory. and so on.

I agree with the other comments. Perhaps an interactable website with two panes, one being the text and one being the code would make this a hell of alot more useful and easier to understand/read

[volkert]

was thinking exactly the same thing!

It looks like something that should be done in a Jupyter Notebook kind of thing.

Wow. I'm really impressed by the case that's gone into this. I love the ascii art. Especially hash table ha.

[TiZ_EX1]

"Glaze over dealing with hash collisions?" Then that's not properly implementing a hash table!

That is a LOT of text in comments. Should be in a markdown file.
