Decorators vs Higher-Order Functions: Function Enhancement Battle

Python decorators vs JavaScript higher-order functions. Which approach to function enhancement is more elegant? Mind-blowing comparison!

just decided to get to some dumb Rust code I wrote a while ago (did I share it in here? can’t recall) and make it as #functional (with #higherOrderFunctions and stuffs) as possible

use std::{
	env,
	ops::Add
};

fn main() {
	let args: Vec<u8> = env::args()
		.skip(1)
		.map(|x| x.parse().unwrap())
		.collect();
	if args.len() >= 2 {
		println!("{}", args
			.into_iter()
			.fold(0, Add::add));
	}
}

….and I can’t help but wonder: aren’t these too many steps?

@chopsueey Tcl gets a lot of hate for its loosely-typed "Everything Is A String" approach, but one of the consequences of this is that Higher-Order Functions become very natural, and are widely used. 😉

Higher-order functions (HOF) explained! 💡

HOFs take one or more functions as arguments or
return a function as a result.

HOFs leverage the concept of functions as first-class citizens. This allows for more abstract, modular, and reusable code.

Decorators:
Why is there so much fuss about #decorators (typescript) when #HigherOrderFunctions can do the same thing & have been available in #javaScript forever.

Being a functional or object based language the natural fit is HOF not Decorators.

If you want to simulate OOP in #js & use the elusion that inheritance is good for js code base then be my guest & use decorators. 😀

Or use a simple shortcut:

You can find more details in Ary's post.
It has obvious advantages in comparison to the Ruby version.

Map

http://str.map{|string| http://string.to_i}

Convert an array of strings to integers in Ruby; more useful in Crystal
