ReasonReact - Functional Programming for React Developers HD

Keira Hodgkison http://lca2018.linux.org.au/schedule/presentation/156/ ReasonReact is a safer, simpler way to build React components, in Reason. Created by developers at Facebook, Reason is a syntax layer and toolchain for OCaml. With over 1.7 million downloads a week, React is a well established and popular tool to create component based user interfaces. By enabling React developers to leverage their existing knowledge and ecosystem, ReasonReact brings functional programming for front-end development, one step closer to widespread adoption. Since its release in March 2017, ReasonReact has progressed quickly. In this brief overview, attendees should gain an understanding of; - What ReasonML/ReasonReact is, - How the language has evolved, - Some highs and lows of getting started, as well as practical examples of ReasonReact in action. This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia. linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
