If you can do a decent enough job that your book acts as an updated version of purley functional data structures then you've got my money!

It's one of the few cs books that I refer to regularly when coding.

And mine!

Error (509) This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

Would love to read and buy book like that. I think for me main part here is pure functional implementation of algorithms in Haskell.

Links no longer seem to work...

The scribd link appears to be back up.

FWIW there's the full TeX source on github :)

The PDF isn't included, but it's generated by the default makefile.

(There's also a PDF-download option on the Scribd mirror -- check the HN title -- but that insists on a Facebook login).

You can also find it here: https://sites.google.com/site/algoxy/home

Something like that would be great for Javascript!

No. Just no.

Why not? Because it is Javascript?

Why? It'll be focused on immutable data structures which are unnatural in Javascript.

the mori library (port of clojure's immutable data structures) seems to be doing quite nicely: https://github.com/swannodette/mori

I believe that immutable data structures are valuable in Javascript. I don't believe that Javascript is a good language for exploring algorithms atop them.

link is bad now.
