Let’s explore the challenge of statically typing JavaScript, which is notoriously complicated due to the dynamic nature of the language. We’ll start in 2005, when academia researchers first started exploring the idea of adding a strongly typed system on top of JavaScript. 

We’ll walk through the complications at hand (with plenty of examples), and understand the design goals of both TypeScript and Flow. After understanding the state of the art, we’ll briefly go over what’s going to change in this space over the next few years.

Statically Typing JavaScript

Why would it ever make sense to put a GraphQL server inside a browser? Client-side applications using React should consider this because of how it streamlines application development and solidifies the data - component relationship. 

It can also speed up your front-end application if you're dealing with millions of rows of data because your WebWorker will be dealing with the expensive stuff and your UI's Main Thread will be free for faster rendering. 

In this talk David explains why it makes sense to run GraphQL inside a browser for "pure" client-side applications and how to interact with WebWorkers to achieve this goal.
