Show Notes ??? - 02:42 - Immutability 05:08 - Records Immutable object Syntax #{x: 1, y: 2} 05:56 - Tuples Immutable array Syntax #[1,2,3,4] 07:18 - For both Referred to as a compound primitive Can contain only primitives, not objects They are compared deeply by their contents rather than their identity assert(#{ a: 1 } === #{ a: 1 }); assert(#[1, 2] === #[1, 2]); assert(#{ a: 1, b: 2 } === #{ b: 2, a: 1 }); Potential for optimizations Optimizations for making deep equality checks fast Optimizations for manipulating data structures Works well with type systems Better integration with the debugger Accessed through normal record.scott object like syntax 13:39 - Stage 2 Links https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple Tweet us your tasty treats!
