Patrick Stapfer

Based on @nikgraf's introduction to Reason (Get started with Reason), this talk goes deeper into the world of variant types and pattern matching and puts them into a practical context. 

You will learn how these tools help you design solid APIs, which are impossible to misuse by consumers. Additionally you will get more insights into practical ReasonReact code.

Making Unreasonable States Impossible

 In this talk, you will learn about the basics of ReasonML, a OCaml-based language with a more familiar syntax for JavaScript developers specifically targeted to React developers.

You will see how Reason’s type system will help you write terser, more functional and more runtime-safe code and how you can leverage this language to write strongly typed React applications.

We will discover the Reason ecosystem, specific syntactical differences to JavaScript and up- and downsides of this technology while doing live-coding examples. This is going to be a highly interactive “look-and-feel” experience in Reason with some insights in my development workflow.

The Road to a Statically Typed Future

As a JavaScript developer, could you imagine using something else than Atom, Sublime or other IDE-like text-editors? In their daily work, people wrangle a lot with different applications, editors, windows, browsers and loose a lot of time because tools getting in their way.

A lot of people are using the terminal already. So why not just leverage it to its full extent? In this lightning talk, I will present how I will do regular JS / React programming just in one terminal window.
