Kit Langton argues against traditional JavaScript and TypeScript frontend development, advocating for compile-time derived frontends using Scala.js.
Javascript is a nightmare language invented to bring us pain. Typescript is that same nightmare with an `: any` appended to it. It is time to leave the land of boilerplate; to stop writing your frontends in glorified XML and to start deriving them at compile time. In this presentation, Kit Langton will exhort you to come, unlearn your frontend helplessness, indulge in hyperbole, and witness the raw power and semi-tapped potential of Scala.js! (Don't forget to bring popcorn.) About Functional Scala: Functional Scala was founded in 2019 to provide an independent, professional platform for speakers across the entire Scala community, bringing together new and existing Scala developers in an uplifting and welcoming environment that focuses on innovation & excellence.

I gave a talk on this very subject here: Stockholm Syndrome Escape Velocity.

Laminar! www.laminar.dev! It is a tremendous joy to write in. I (sorta) gave a talk on it. Check it out :)

On “I thought it would be worth a mention-- Laminar (a reactive scala-js native frontend framework) is now published for scala 3”
In soviet Russia, faces find you :)
I just want to acknowledge all the facework that /u/kitlangton has been doing for Laminar!

On “Deriving the Frontend (A Scala.js Tutorial)”
Howdy! I recorded a little tutorial to go with a talk I gave in December (Stockholm Syndrome Escape Velocity). In that talk, I wax poetic upon the potential of writing vastly less code by turning to type class derivation. However, I only did some fake live coding, and left a lot to the imagination. So I decided to record myself building out a simple Form combinator library, replete with Magnolia-powered derivation, from scratch. Hope you enjoy, internet friends! 🙇♂️

Thank you!
If you are also looking backward to past talks, I did another one on full stack Scala. 😉
