Cons, Car, Cdr and a little golfing

Read Original

This article details a coding challenge based on Lisp's fundamental 'cons' concept, implementing it in JavaScript. It explains the 'cons', 'car', and 'cdr' functions step-by-step and then engages in code golfing to reduce the character count of the implementations, discussing techniques for minimization. The context is a German web development channel's weekly challenge.
