Implementing ranges in JavaScript
Ranges are natively supported by a few (popular) programming languages. They allow for iteration over a defined space, while not having a linear increase in their memory footprint (all ranges always store a similar amount of data).
Sorting an array in JavaScript, a utility perspective!
As sorting is a common operation on arrays, a more scalable and less error-prone strategy would be to define common compare functions. Let's build said compare functions!
Template tags are just functions
