ReactFoo Pune

There’s a lot of hype (and a lot of puns) about Reason - but why is that, and what does it have to do with our beloved React? Is this something for hipster types only, or will we all be using it in a year’s time?

All great questions! Join me in surfing the hype wave for the answers and more!

Outline

• What is this language even?
• Why are we talking about a meta syntax for a 20 year old language?
• Do I have to learn a new syntax now?
• What do you I get extra over javascript?
• Special mention for type safety
• Tooling + Performance
• I don’t know how to React to this? (intro to ReactReason)
• Handling props and state
• But, I already have a huge javascript codebase! (Interop with javascript and migration strategy)
• Is this production ready/who uses it?

Requirements

A really open mind :D
