the best programming language is all of them, because anyone who has mastered the magic of CORBA can freely write his individual services in whatever language sounds good right now

_.each(string.split(""), function(char) { counts[char] = counts[char]+1 || 1 }); is a cool one-liner but it's not like there's anything with just using a for loop

one liners are masturbation

code:

_.chain("abcaddaaaa".split(""))
 .groupBy(_.identity)
 .each(function (v,k) { 
	console.log(k+' = '+v.length); });

code:

stop trying to shoehorn imperative code into fp

_.map( _.groupBy(s.split(''), _.identity), function(e){ return {letter:e[0], count:e.length}; } )

or u can chain it like what t-rex said yea

oh yeah? whats the difference?

a map is implemented using trees (typically binary)

a dictionary is implemented using hash tables

both a map and a dictionary are associative containers.

there is no such thing as an "associative array".

Hammerite: Mar 9, 2007; And you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid.

The thing that most boggled my mind when i learned basic C++ is what you do if you want to define special behaviour of the postincrement and preincrement operators for your custom datatype.

you can define both, but because just writing "function ++ ()..." or whatever (i cant remember the syntax and dont care) would be ambiguous which one you meant, they are distinguished by the rule that for one of them you pass the method no parameters and for the other one you pass an unused integer parameter.

i want to know who in the gently caress came up with that and was it a joke that got taken seriously.
