This is a very exclusive collection of only must-have JavaScript links. I'm only listing my favorite links. Nothing else makes the cut. Feel free to suggest links if you think they're good enough to make this list. The really curious should feel free to browse the comments to find other links. I can't guarantee the quality of links in the comments.
Since this is on Hacker News...
_t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".while loops because shut up, you're overthinking a joke.

This is a plain-text version of Bret Victor’s reading list. It was requested by hf on Hacker News.
Highly recommended things!
This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.
A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

So you're curious in learning this new thing called Reactive Programming, particularly its variant comprising of Rx, Bacon.js, RAC, and others.
Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:
Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])
Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.
