Then you should definitely learn about Elm.\r\n\r\nElm is a functional programming language made especially for the browser, with a clear focus on usability. It follows the same principles as React and Redux, but offers you way more:\r\n  \r\n- no runtime exceptions, ever! if it compiles, it will run!\r\n- super fast rendering thanks to a virtual Dom \r\n- hot code reload and a time travelling debugger that work out of the box\r\n- a package manager that makes update a snap by enforcing semver\r\n- an amazingly open, friendly and helpful community\r\n\r\nDamien has started to use Elm in his side projects and instantly fell in love with it. He'd like to give you a first impression of the language and show you were to get started. \r\n\r\nBonus: the word monad is not even mentioned a single time in the core libraries!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/reactsydney/talks/issues/comments/215630131","html_url":"https://github.com/reactsydney/talks/issues/15#issuecomment-215630131","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/reactsydney/talks/issues/15","id":215630131,"user":{"login":"halhenke","id":1448377,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1448377?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke","html_url":"https://github.com/halhenke","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/halhenke/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-29T05:33:33Z","updated_at":"2016-04-29T05:33:33Z","body":"@jesstelford Dont mind either way - but _if_ this would help, let me know before tomorow.\r\n\r\nOtherwise we can always have @JedWatson talk again :-)\r\n\r\n(Actually maybe not - forgot about the Dad thing)"}}
