28 Sep 2011 Higher order function in zsh »
tl;dr: some simple implementation of higher order function for zsh.
Why is it important to have these functions? Simply because, the more I programmed with zsh the more I tended to work using functional programming style.

Two words about the content
Here you'll can find mostly technical articles. Some are just reminder of technical tips. But some are long and technically detailled articles.
I do my best to traduce each page in French and in English. It is not always easy as English is not my natural language. I used to make many errors, orthographic, grammatical, typographical…
Thanks not to judge me based on these errors! And don't forget content is more important than presentation!
The first impression I'll let you if we meet in real life should be different from the one I let you based on my website.
I wish you to find something useful or interesting on this website.
