Functional programming enthusiast. Creator of Sanctuary, our refuge from unsafe JavaScript.

I have been developing open-source projects in the JavaScript ecosystem since 2010. I became a member of the Ramda team in 2014. I released Sanctuary in 2015, and have since spent significant energy refining the library, creating related projects, and maintaining the Fantasy Land specification.
I am passionate about learning, teaching, and practising functional programming. I frequently answer questions on Gitter and Stack Overflow, and occasionally speak at conferences. In 2018 I introduced Sanctuary to a broad audience at ReactiveConf in Prague.
In addition to the many sanctuary-js projects, I maintain several other useful projects:
async-problem – solutions and non-solutions to JavaScript’s async problem
Base64.js – polyfill for browsers that don’t provide window.btoa and window.atob
doctest – doctests for JavaScript (and CoffeeScript)
Transcribe – generate Markdown documentation from code comments
Tutor – JavaScript interface for the Gatherer card database
xyz – publish npm packages with fewer screw-ups
I have ambitious goals for improving the Sanctuary ecosystem, including:
adding type-aware search to sanctuary.js.org;
creating a tutorial to show how to set up a project that includes sanctuary-def and custom types;
adding lens functions to Sanctuary;
documenting and releasing sanctuary-argv, a principled argument parser;
releasing a new version of the Fantasy Land specification with fully-qualified type representatives;
creating and releasing sanctuary-set and sanctuary-map; and
creating and releasing a testing library that does not rely on throwing and catching exceptions.
I will complete these projects, but this could take years of evenings and weekends. My dream is to work on Sanctuary and related projects full-time, which would dramatically reduce the time frame.
My living expenses are low but non-zero. By becoming a fan or a supporter, or by encouraging your company to become a partner, you will enable me to focus on improving the JavaScript ecosystem. You, your company, and the community will then have access to the principled, well-tested features and packages I release. Your generosity will benefit thousands of people. :)
