🎤 ReasonReact and local state
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Cristiano Calcagno
The talk introduces ReasonReact and the way it operates on the state of React components. This is illustrated by introducing the notion of local state presented via a series of examples. State is changed by means of reducers, that can operate directly on the current component, or on distant components via remote actions. Further examples illustrate how certa… -
🎤 Building inclusive Open Source communities

- 👤 Laura Gaetano
Tech has a diversity problem: marginalised people are being pushed out of the industry; their voices and experiences are erased. Open Source is particularly bad, with too few contributors who aren’t white, male, cisgender and able-bodied. What if things were different? What if we could create spaces that are welcoming, where we show empathy and compassion? W… -

🎤 Practical Interpretation of Code Formatting
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Maxim Valcke
Today every major language has some kind of library that helps a developer formatting his or her code. Tools like Prettier, Gofmt and Refmt are setting new standards and have a deep impact on our day to day programming. But what does it actually mean to format code? Does it mean pressing a magical button to align your code? Is it more than the automatic inse… -
🎤 Having your cake and eating it too — GraphQL in Reason
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Sean Grove
Traditionally, soundly typed-language are warm and cozy in their own world, but as soon as they have to deal with the outside world (say, talking to a REST API), the pain quickly sets in: trying to keep a type definition in sync with a moving external service, manual conversion back and forth, and lots of boilerplate. Well no more! Proper GraphQL support in … -
🎤 Building native Node.js addons in Reason
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Vladimir Kurchatkin
Reason community is growing rapidly, and a lot of people are interested in leveraging it on their servers. One way to achieve this is to use native OCaml compiler. It produces exceptionally performant binaries, but the native ecosystem is scarce, and you will struggle with finding solutions for very common tasks. Another option is to use BuckleScript and com… -
🎤 What’s not to love about Reason?
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Keira Hodgkison
Even though Reason looks like JavaScript with a few additional functional features and semantics, it’s sometimes easy to forget that it’s a completely different language, with different problems. This talk looks at life on the bleeding edge, as experienced by a not-so-functional programmer. -
🎤 Why We’re Afraid of Change
- 📹 1 video
- 👤 Jared Forsyth
Would you rather have a community like npm, where there are hundreds of thousands of packages, but very few feel stable, or one like opam, with only a few thousand packages and a much more rigorous vetting system? How do language and community decisions affect the pull between security and freedom, safety and agility? Can we design a system that gives us bot…
