这篇笔记介绍不可变数据, Persistent Data Structure 和 Immutable.
但是不深入数据结构实现, 函数式编程理论.
定义
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_data_structure
In computing, a persistent data structure is a data structure that always preserves the previous version of itself when it is modified. Such data structures are effectively immutable, as their operations do not (visibly) update the structure in-place, but instead always yield a new updated structure.
编程语言
FP: Haskell, Clojure, Elixir
类库: immutable-js
概念的区别
http://vkostyukov.ru/posts/designing-a-pfds/
Immutability and persistent are quite similar terms, which often substitute each other. We say immutable vector (in Scala) but mean persistent vector (in Clojure): both implementations are based on the same abstract data structure Bit-Mapped Vector Trie but named differently. Although, there is a slight difference between immutability and persistence as they apply to data structures.
- Persistent data structures support multiple versions
- Immutable data structures aren't changeable

http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-immu...
- 多线程安全, 可靠
- 对于需要多份数据的情况, 可以重用结构
- 函数式编程
劣势
http://concurrencyfreaks.blogspot.sg/2013/10/immutable-data-structures...
- 使用门槛
- 需要编程语言实现好的 GC
底层实现
- Clojure
Clojure 的数据结构实现
Understanding Clojure's Persistent Vectors, pt. 1

- Haskell
Haskell lists are represented as singly linked list
haskell
data [] a = [] | a : [a]

写法
- Clojure
有变量. 但是复合数据结构是不可变的
clojure
(def x 1) (defn p [] x) (p) (def x 2) (p)
- Haskell
没有变量的写法, 只能用 let
定义表达式 alias name
或者在 do notation 里有赋值, 但底层不是赋值
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/do_notation
haskell
do x1 <- action1 x2 <- action2 action3 x1 x2
haskell
action1 >>= \ x1 -> action2 >>= \ x2 -> action3 x1 x2
- Elixir
变量被引用就是不可变的值(不过在 process 级别有私有数据)
iex(6)> a = 1
1
iex(7)> b = fn -> IO.puts a end
#Function<20.90072148/0 in :erl_eval.expr/5>
iex(8)> b.()
1
:ok
iex(9)> a = 2
2
iex(10)> b.()
1
:ok
性能问题
- Performance

- GHC
Data immutability forces us to produce a lot of temporary data but it also helps to collect this garbage rapidly.

- React 的性能优化
js
shouldComponentUpdate: function(nextProps, nextState) { return true; }

This level of backwards compatibility requires ECMAScript 5 features like Object.defineProperty and Object.freeze to exist and work correctly, which limits the browsers that can use this library to the ones shown in the test results below. (tl;dr IE9+)
object.freeze
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Glob...
js
var o = Object.freeze(obj);
然而没有复用数据结构, 将会有性能问题:

Well, you technically could use Object.freeze() to achieve immutability, however, the moment you need to modify those immutable objects you will need to perform a deep copy of the entire object, mutate the copy and then freeze it. This is often too slow to be of practical use in most use-cases.
怎样编写程序
- sum
haskell
foldl f z [] = z foldl f z (x:xs) = foldl f (f z x) xs
- maximum
haskell
maximum' :: (Ord a) => [a] -> a maximum' [] = error "maximum of empty list" maximum' [x] = x maximum' (x:xs) = max x (maximum' xs)
- white/for
http://www.haskellforall.com/2012/01/haskell-for-c-programmers-for-loo...
haskell
while :: (Monad m) => m Bool -> m a -> m () while cond action = do c <- cond when c $ do action while cond action for :: (Monad m) => m a -> m Bool -> m b -> m c -> m () for init cond post action = do init while cond $ do action post
- model
elm
-- manage the model of our application over time model : Signal Model model = Signal.foldp update initialModel actions.signal
