Motivation

expression-oriented programming one of the great advances of FP
expressions plug together like legos, making more malleable programming experience in-the-small

Examples

Write in an expression-oriented style, scoping variables as locally as possible:

Here are all the entries in http://reproducibility.cs.arizona.edu/ where I've mentioned problems in various Facebook/G+ threads.

Not deserving of a full post, but nonetheless worth writing about: @ongardie, @aalevy, and a few others on Twitter were surprised by the number of papers that were flagged as "not reproducible" according to the recent study at http://reproducibility.cs.arizona.edu. Digging deeper, it appeared that 1.) "code builds" is the standard for reproducibility in this study and that 2.) many broken builds were the result of missing dependencies on the researchers' systems.

I tried reproducing a few of the authors' "unreproducible" results. It's hard to vet 600+ research code repositories, but, with a little effort (< ~10 minutes each?), I was able to get all of the following to actually build (on Ubuntu 13.10). This doesn't inspire confidence in the reproducibility of the study results.

	This script is meant to be used with a Google Sheets spreadsheet. When you edit a cell containing a
	valid CSS hexadecimal color code (like #000 or #000000), the background color will change to that
	color and the font color will be changed to the inverse color for readability.

	To use this script in a Google Sheets spreadsheet:
	1. go to Tools » Script Editor;
	2. replace everyting in the text editor with this code;

	Common mistakes.
	Never use "", use `` and ''.
	endash = -- \| emdash = --- \| minus sign will appear in formulae
	In URLs, use $\sim$ rather than ~.
	"he/she" should be "he\slash she"

	Simple Formatting.
