Very inspiring talk and like everyone else said, it gave a lot of food for thought. It was probably the most discussed subject in the evening.

Nice talk although i would have expected the speaker to further look beyond the borders of the Ruby language ... Since I was hoping to see a more meta-discussion on 'leassons learned from RoR' than `this is how other Ruby frameworks now solve issues`...

I liked the talk! The presenters had a clear vision of where to go and keep the discussion alive (well after)! Its also great that they kept it away from a tabs-vs-spaces flamewar. It could have gone a bit faster imho, but all in all great talk!

The presenter clearly knew his stuff. I unfortunately did as well and hoped it would go a bit more beyond the casual introduction.

I do however also want to mention that with the last minute change of beers to terrorism it kind of bothered me that it seemed the presenter was `gamifying` the data discovery of the highest amount of deaths on a single day... I can fully understand the excitement of working with data so easily visible and graph-able, but with the given subject this kind of felt... 'off the mark' ? I don't know, might have been just me.. :)

Loved the energy on stage!

This talk was certainly interesting! The context and prior knowledge of functionalprogramming is sort of a requirement, but the speaker really tried to get everyone on board with the whole concept!

Its great to see talks that actually are way more technical than the average! Way to go #domcode15 for getting this into the schedule!

Decent talk and great to see a team presenting.

I didn't like the way the presentation started: coupling web components to solving <div>-soup. A tiny bit later web components were linked to (element) semantics, but that really isn't the purpose of this bundle of tools / technologies.

First and foremost, "web components" are a toolset for developers to build isolated, reusable, portable and extensible UI components. They don't flatten the DOM or make the web any more semantic. Web components can by definition only be as semantic as the element they extend. In other words: web components may make the web less accessible / semantic if lazy developers create components without extending the proper element (eg. creating a custom checkbox without extending <input type='checkbox'>).

The presentation made use of abstract examples, even though there are real world examples to demo (fe. the <time> element extension on GitHub).

One last word: I found it hard to listen to Remco, mainly because of his pronunciation and speaking in monotone. Carmen on the other hand was very easy to listen to and that made for a big contrast between you two.

That said: it takes great courage to speak to an experienced audience on a stage like that. Much respect to that and very well done. Keep preaching! :)

Great closing presentation

Touched upon a lot of issues. Would have been a great talk if the demo's were somewhat better.
