Introduction to elm #2

Closed niklas-heer closed 7 years ago

Speaker: Stefan Siegl (@stesie23)
Duration: ~45m

Description: An introduction into the world of functional programming with a cool new language called "elm". It compiles to JavaScript and can be used for Frontend development. Unlike hand-written JavaScript, Elm code does not produce runtime exceptions in practice. Instead, Elm uses type inference to detect problems during compilation and give friendly hints.

This will be the topic of our /dev/night #011. :)

@stesie thank you for a really interesting venture into functional programming! Although it is quite tough to wrap your head around the concept it is pretty cool! Definitely something to look into and especially elm for that matter. I think it can maybe function as a "gateway drug" for functional programming. :smile:
