Thanks for publishing this list. I am a big fan of higher order functions, and these can be really helpful functions.

I do think that more explanation of debounce and throttle would be helpful.

  • Debounce can be called many times but will not run until they delay elapses after the most recent call. If you have a debounce delay of 150 milliseconds and call it every 100 milliseconds, it will not run until you stop calling it, and will run with the last values it was passed.

  • Throttle can be called many times but will not run until the delay elapses after the most recent run. If you have a throttle delay of 150 milliseconds and call it every 100 milliseconds, it will run every 150 milliseconds with the most recent values it was passed.

For both functions, information may be discarded if multiple calls occur during the delay.

Yes, that's correct! The structuredClone method is a built-in way in JavaScript to create a deep clone of objects, including those with nested structures
