Experience

  • Ustack – A Web Application Stack Focused on Understanding
    http://github.com/fpereiro/ustack

    Designed, developed, and maintained a stack of open-source JavaScript libraries for building web applications.

    The stack comprises front- and back-end features and is composed of ten libraries: dale (functional loops), teishi (validation), lith (HTML/CSS generation), recalc (event system), cocholate (DOM manipulation), gotoB (a front-end framework integrating the previous five libraries), cicek (a web server), giz (an authentication layer), astack (asynchronicity) and kaboot (devops toolset).

    The ustack has been forged through radically minimizing the lines of code of each of its libraries. The entire ustack actually cannot be more than 4096 lines (2048 front-end + 2048 back-end).

  • Declarative Programming: Is It A Real Thing? (Publication)
    https://www.toptal.com/software/declarative-programming
    In a nutshell, declarative programming consists of instructing a program on what needs to be done, instead of telling it how to do it. This approach involves providing a domain-specific language (DSL) for expressing what the user wants. This DSL shields users from messy low-level constructs while still achieving the desired end-state. While declarative programming offers advantages over the imperative approach it replaces, it’s not as straightforward as it may seem. In this comprehensive article, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer Federico Pereiro outlines his experience with declarative tools and explains how you can make declarative programming work for you.
