SAFE Stack: The Pit of Success for Functional Web Programming
AUDIENCE
- Functional programmers with an interest in web development;
- Web developers with an interest in functional programming;
- Developers coming from an ML background e.g. OCaml, Haskell, Elm.
- Developers coming from JS and / or .NET backgrounds.
OBJECTIVES
Use of functional programming techniques on top of popular OO and/or dynamic runtimes (such as .NET and JavaScript); resolving impedance mismatch of client/server communication; building
DESCRIPTION
The SAFE Stack is a free, open-source and flexible end-to-end, functional-first stack for cloud-ready web apps that emphasizes type-safe programming almost entirely in F#, without needing to compromise and shoehorn your codebase into an object-oriented framework or library, and without needing you to be an expert in CSS or HTML to create compelling, rich client-side web applications.
This talk will demonstrate the value proposition behind it, illustrating how we can develop unified client/server apps that take the best features of F# - such as type safety, succinctness, productivity and performance - whilst still integrating naturally with technologies and frameworks such as ASP .NET and React.
We'll create data-driven server-side APIs quickly and easily, and then surface them in a rich, responsive web application using .NET and JavaScript libraries that come together beautifully. Lastly, we'll see how easily SAFE apps can be hosted on a cloud platform.
