Typed FP in JS

[kentcdodds]

Title: Typed Functional Programming in JavaScript

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.

Potential guest(s): @paf31, @evancz, @jordwalke, @alfonsogarciacaro

Next Wednesday (June 15th) I'll be out of town so I'm not sure about the internet conditions, but any of the July dates should be fine for me 👍

Do you also need a bio?

Nope, this will work for me. Thanks!

This sounds like maybe a @bodil topic. I, in general, would adore having @bodil on the show.

[texastoland]

@rtfeldman ping @evancz?

[kentcdodds]

Yes! @bodil, would you like to jump on with us? I've actually been meaning to invite you on the show for a while now anyway :D would love to have you on.

[bodil]

Not me, podcasts are really not my medium. But please make @paf31 do it. :)

[kentcdodds]

Understood. You will be missed @bodil. Thanks anyway!

[evancz]

Sounds cool, but you should have @rtfeldman on instead of me. He introduced it at NoRedInk about a year ago, and they are now the biggest user in the world as far as I know. So in addition to knowing a ton about Elm itself (like me), he probably knows more than anyone about the day-to-day usage and team dynamics of introducing a technology like this. In other words, I think he'd be a better choice!

[kentcdodds]

Alright, what do you think @rtfeldman?

[rtfeldman]

Happy to! Sounds like a fun one. 😄

@rtfeldman can you give me a few dates from the schedule that work well for you at 12:00 Central Time?
