The Why and How of ReasonML. A Non-Functional Programmer's Perspective
This talk is a general introduction to ReasonML and ReasonReact. Created by Facebook, ReasonML is a syntax layer and toolchain for OCaml and yet another compile-to-JavaScript, typed language. ReasonReact marries ReasonML's type-safety with the React component model while leveraging the existing ecosystem for developers seeking a better working experience across both web and native apps.
Since its release in March 2017, the ReasonReact syntax has moved quickly. In this brief overview, attendees should gain an understanding of the the language's evolution, the ethos surrounding it and how it might shape development in the future.
