Elm - a delightful language for learning functional programming

Tools-in-Action
Front End

Abstract

Functional programming is still a mystery for many developers. There is an overwhelming amount of math and theory surrounding it, to the point of scaring people away. But it turns out, that with the right tools, it is possible to learn FP and to get productive fast!

This talk sums up my first year of learning functional programming in the JavaScript ecosystem and answers questions that many developers have in mind when thinking about starting their FP journey. With this, you'll learn about strong points of learning FP and why using Elm will set you up the right path for creating reliable web applications.

Agenda

  • Why should you be interested in FP?
