An Introduction to Elm
Talk by Michel Rijnders (50 minutes)

The influence of functional programming (FP) on how we build JavaScript applications is growing. Going truly functional is looking more and more like the right thing to do, but FP still has the stigma of being difficult. Elm, a functional language that compiles to JavaScript, aims to fix this. This talk and live coding session will cover: - Core concepts and benefits of FP - Elm's focus on simplicity, ease-of-use, and tooling - The experience of using Elm in production Speaker: Michel Rijnders (@ugly_syntax) Philosopher trapped in a programmer's body; software romantic. CTO at TruQu and organizer of FP AMS.
