dreamtime

Causality violation for JavaScript. Executing programs before functions are written (think cucumber in js)

Dreamtime Functions

PROCEDURE: First Order Functions

First order functions describe a procedure completed by second order functions.

• specify order of operations
• it feels like they exist to debug flow control

TASK: Second Order Functions

Second order functions follow good conventions for managing fulfillment of the task they are charged with.

• There is a single new Promise instance here and heavy reliance on async functions

UTILITY: Third Order Functions

Third order functions do the dirty work, they don't even receive arguments in an object, they get a standard comma separated deal with it set.

• get simple arguments (ex: function(url, timeout){ /* dirty work */ })

Todo

• if module directory changes update the package.json name field
