Typed Functional Programming in JavaScript with Alfonso García-Caro, Richard Feldman, Phil Freeman, and Jordan Walke
NOTE: You may be wondering why this week is a rerun. Well, we actually did have a show this week at The Strange Loop and it was awesome! But I made a mistake by not setting my computer to use the microphone interface for the audio and so the sound is just using my MacBook's built-in microphone, which resulted in really terrible audio quality. I'm really sorry about this. I hope you enjoy this rerun of one of the more popular shows that is relevant to the type of conversations you would hear about at The Strange Loop.
Description:
"Tie your hands to free your mind" is a mantra you hear that applies really well to the constraints that you put on yourself by embracing statically typed languages and functional programming. We're going to hear from various people about their respective visions of typed FP in JS.

webpack: JavaScript bundler with Juho Vepsäläinen, Johannes Ewald, Sean T. Larkin, and Tobias Koppers Description:
webpack is an amazing bundler for frontend assets.

Just helps when you're trying to build/fix other parts of the site., It's very important to test your update process when deploying new versions of apps with SW. It's possible to “brick” a web app since if you successfully register a SW, then push an update that has a JS error that prevents your SW registration code from running. Pushing a new version won't fix it because it won't register the new SW and keeps serving the broken code from the previous SW. , and It's early to say this, but I think GraphQL will eventually replace REST as dominant http API approach for applications. * Picks: I
Transitioning from REST to GraphQL with Lee Byron and Steven Luscher Description: We've heard about GraphQL quite a bit.
